General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Homing

Hi All,

Is there a way to home just the Y axis.  Also my Y axis has a slave "A" attached.  How do I make sure they go back together ?

Thanks Steven

After a little more testing this morning, I decided to tell the settings inside mach3 that I was using 1/16 steps vs 1/8 steps.  An lo and behold now when I run the machine it moves the same axis weird by 0.0025 vs 0.0050.  There must be a bug in Mach3

The problem is .0050 is exactly one step on my machine.  So if it makes that mistake a bunch of time my part will be ruined.  I put a ticket in with them.

I understand.  But how does running the command g0x100 cause a different axis to say its moved .0050.

So I just got one new CNC Mach3 USB controller and 4 new drivers.  I got the DM542 drivers because my old once where making the stepper really noisy.  Anyway on to the weird thing.  If run a G-code like G0x100.  The x moves across to 100mm but the weird thing is sometimes another counter in Mach3 like Y or Z registers either 0.0050mm or -0.0050mm.  But the z/Y never moves.  Also when I say G0x0 the x goes back to 0 but it usually also registers 0.0050 or -0.0050. If I then say the command again to G0x0, nothing happens.

Any ideas ???

I finally got it working.  I went from 1/2 step to 1/8 step and slowed down the speed to 500. No more issues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a suggestion for motors that are similar but fit the need on inductance.
