General Mach Discussion / Y axis 1 of two motors jumping

« on: November 28, 2011, 10:46:51 PM »

Hi Total newbie here,
      I have a 4x8 procutcnc plasma table i built, gecko g540, 620oz steppers, & Mach3. I have read the manual for mach quite a few times over, as well as the tutorial videos, and i've been all over the forums. What my question is: My x,y,z,(a slave) axis are working like their supposto except when i try to home the y axis motor seems to jump tward home in about a 3-4" distance repitiously 3-4 times then it just stops. no e stop triggered or limit switch triggered. it just does it wherever its at on the axis. Has anyoneone encountered this? It's probably a simple mistake on my part. Any help would b appreciated.                              thank you
