Hi All Been a while since i have been back here
its xmass what beter time to play with my toy and create myself more problems
any help or pointers to posts that may help apreaciated
ok i upgraded to day to ver R2.62 checked opration all seems good
ok i have my system set up with soft limits this works very good but i have to remeber to switch off befor doing a ref all
if i do not then it seems to ref the z axis ok but when it hits the limit switch on the y axis it trips the estop with the warning
limits . I have to switch of limits then ref then move all the axis away from the limit switches then switch on soft limits again.
this was also happing on the old version that i was using . is there a way that i can change the code behind the ref all button to do the above automaticly ie switch of soft limits ref all drives then move drives to a set position then switch soft limits on again .
or is somthing not right on my system .
I also find a problem when i call for NFS wizards to load this also caused my system to trip the estop i can only think that the reset is not sent to the cambell board that i am using and the watchdog times out and trips the system while these are loading
any one had this problem befor .
Now the good news i have set up my webcam and seem to have this working ok but cant find any instructions on using it
my intention was to have it set with an offset x+50 y-50 this i have done I can now use the camra to center on say a 6mm hole then type the offset value into the dro for x and y this then allowes me to put the cutter back into the hole at x=0 y=0
I was looking for a button that would let me do this automaticly or have i missed somthing here
anyway thanks for reading this and any help you can give
Bill
