SmoothStepper USB / Mach3 sees home switches but does not stop on homing operation

« on: March 30, 2014, 05:55:42 PM »

I am using Mach3, Smoothstepper (USB). I have home switches installed Normally Closed (gnd). Active High. (See attachments)

When I activate the switch (manually), Mach 3 see the home switch. But when I do a home operation, it ignores the home switch.

Help appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Config Question

« on: September 18, 2009, 10:13:46 AM »

How do I config Mach3 to use the M10/M11 (pallet on/off) commands? Specifically, how do I assign the pin/port for these commands?

I want to use this to control the firing of a laser, as it is supposed to have zero delay, unlike the m3-m4/m5 combination. (Using spindle controls delays between spindle on and the following G1 movement.)
