General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 pokeys57cnc proximity switches

« on: May 23, 2022, 06:00:06 PM »

I am installing the Pokeys57cnc board in Mach 3 and I can't find anywhere on YouTube on how to install them on the board. I have a 3 wire NPN switch I am trying to install but can't see on the board how to hook them up. I also have a 3 wire limit switch that I would like to install for my homing switches. Can anyone let me know where on the board to hook these things up? Thanks

Just inquiring if anyone out there has used the Novosun NVCMV2.1 controller and could lend some information on setting up limit switches and NPN proximity switches. I have followed the YouTube videos but can't get them to work. Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / Soft limits

« on: December 08, 2021, 05:34:25 PM »

Mach 3 will not let me turn on the soft limit icon. Every time I press it I get (Machine out of limits for soft limit activation.) I home in the upper right on my CNC. I have the machine coordinates set to 0.0000 for all axis's with the machine located where I would home it. I also have my soft limits set to 0.0000. I have been trying to get my soft limits set for a long time so I can use my machine with no luck because I can't seem to get the soft limits set. I have mechanical limit switches installed but when the trip I have to turn of the machine and move it off the limit switch. I don't know where I can set that so it backs off one the switch is tripped. Would rather use the soft limits.

FAQs / X axis direction

« on: April 14, 2021, 12:43:56 PM »

Does anyone have an idea why when I jog the X axis with the x- and x+ that they move in the same direction? Has anyone had that problem and if so, how do you fix it?
