General Mach Discussion / Homing Slave Estops system
« on: April 13, 2009, 08:11:47 PM »
I have searched the forum I have not really found the problem that I am currently having.
I have the system set up to home the slave (A) with them master (Y). Two motors to move a carriage. I have a switch on either end of the Y side of the carriage in serial to one input. Y++,Y-- and Y Home. I also have the same setup on the A side of the carriage. All of these switches are in series to a different input. A++, A-- and A Home.
When I "ref all" the carriage moves towards home, hits the home switches for both Y and A. It then moves off of the switches but when it comes off of the Y home switch first, it estops with the A home switch still active. I assume that it is estopping because it comes off of the Y home and thinks its done but then it see that a switch is made and estops.
When it homes it doesn't appear to straighten the carriage by also homing off of the A side of the carriage. Am I missing a setting or pinout somewhere?
Thanks
Todd
