General Mach Discussion / X axis won't rebound when homing

« on: February 03, 2017, 11:28:15 PM »

My X axis won't back off when homed,  as do the Y and Z . X and Y are homing in the negative direction  and z homing at the top  I'm using a dmm break out board and servos   with a single limit switch on each axis    thanks  Chris

General Mach Discussion / x axis moving in wrong direction and not homing

« on: May 11, 2016, 01:56:32 AM »

I'm using dmm servos and their break out board    z axis and y axis  home and move off the combo limit/home switches, but the x axis just hits the limit switch and trips the limit switch  not working it as a homing switch.  I tried messing about in the home/ limits setup area  and can then get the x to move the right direction  when running a wizard program  but instead of climb milling as programed its conventional milling    thanks,  Chris

General Mach Discussion / USB ports and pins versus printer port

« on: March 02, 2016, 08:24:16 AM »

The Mach soft ware seems to be set  up for printer port  port and pin numbers , My DMB4250-8B Breakout Board supports both usb and printerport.  How do I designate using a usb port instead and what happens with the port and pin numbers ?  I am really a newbie in this area.      thanks,   Chris
