General Mach Discussion / Re: Homing Procedure Reversed. Need help

I think I figured out the problem here. I should just plug the motors for the front and back axis to Y and A and assign A as a slave axis for Y. That way, it will follow the homing sequence as Z, Y, then X.

But when I click ref home, my X-axis (gantry axis) moves first, then the Y-axis (front to back axis). Isn't the default homing sequence is Z, Y, then X? That means the gantry X-axis must be the last one to home?

I'm using a CRP4848 so I am calling my X-axis as the axis front to back of the machine. The Y-axis is the gantry axis. Supposedly, the gantry axis is the X and the front to back axis is the Y. In my first post, I refer to the gantry axis as the Y-axis but it is really the X-axis. Therefore, my pins seem to be correct right?

This may be a wild question but how do I get the XML file?

Yes. A is set up as a slaved axis for X. My problem is the X-axis supposes to home first then Y. However, the Y homes first but only stop when the sensors on the X-axis is triggered.

Mach3 screen also shows Y axis is homing first. Isn't X-axis supposed to home first? As far as I know then sensors will be triggered on order starting with X and then Y.

Maybe this picture should help to clarify...

X Prime is the sensor on the A-axis side. I have 2 motors for the X axis, one is X and one is A.

I am trying to set up my home switches and thing doesn't seem to go well. I have 5 proximity sensors wired for x and y axis. X- Home, X+, X Prime, Y- Home, and Y+ to the Gecko 540.

X-Home and X+ are wired together to Input 3 pin 12.
Y-Home and Y+ are wired together to Input 1 pin 10.
X Prime is wired to Input 2 pin 11.

On the diagnostics screen, M1++ Limit, M1—Limit, and M1Home light up whenever either of the Y sensors (plus or minus) is tripped. M2++ Limit, M2—Limit, and M2Home light up whenever either of the X sensors (plus or minus) is tripped. M4Home lights up whenever the X prime sensor is tripped. However, when I press ref home, my Y-axis moves first and continue to move even when the sensor on the Y-axis is tripped. It will only stop when I trip the X-axis sensor. Then, the X-axis motor and the A-axis motor move in the opposite direction and will only stop when I trip the Y-axis sensor. What am I doing wrong here?

Yep. Still up playing with it because I'm too excited. :-)
