Thank you,  Hood.   I haven't worked with a screen editor yet so this gives me a reason to try it out.

   You know the problem didn't appear until other people started operating the CNC.  When you put it together yourself you are just more careful.  It turns out that you could crank out the MPG and slam the proximity sensor into the hard limits.  I never considered this or why would you do this but to prevent it from happening again adjusted slow zone to 3.0 inches and now it won't happen unless the software limits are disabled.  Do you know of  a way to remove the software limits On/Off  button or just lock them ON.

General Mach Discussion / Software Limits and jog speed reduction
« on: August 08, 2010, 06:31:13 PM »
   I have software limits enabled and speed is reduced when approaching the Soft Max limit.  When approaching the Soft Min limit which is 0 the jog speed isn't reduced.  Slow zone is set to 1.0.  Does the speed reduction only apply to the Soft Max limit not the Soft Min limit?  Or is this an issue with the MPG and its plugin? It is a Homann Designs MP01.

Greg,

  It works!!  That is definitely the solution to homing a slaved axis.

i'm very inexperienced at Mach 3 so let me restate what needs to be done to make the change.  If its wrong please slap me upside the head and correct me!

  In Mach 3 select Operator Tab.
         On Drop Down menu select - Edit Button Script
               Then Press REF ALL HOME button

  Editor pops up with the following 4 lines of code.

 DoButton(24)
 DoButton(23)
 DoButton(22)
 DoButton(25)

          Delete the lines DoButton(23) and (25)

Enter following on new line

  RefCombination(10)

Select File -- Then Save.

Close the Editor.

I'm having a similar problem but different axis.  The Y axis is slaved with the A Motor.  Will the above mentioned edit work for the slaving of Y and A.  Right now the Y and A are slaved for homing.  This doesn 't work very well because if the A is slightly ahead of the Y when the home switches are hit the A triggered first is interpreted as a limit trigger instead of a home trigger.
