Hello, I am running version 2.61 and trying to set up homing...

In the past all I used were the limit switches as safety stops, but would like
to get the homing set up.

I watched the Vidio Tutorial on Limits/Homing and have set things up per that advise,
however when it starts to home the Y axis, the steppers on opposite sides of the
gantry move in opposite directions.

Everything work just fine when in MPG Mode or running a Gcode file...

What have I forgotten to check or uncheck in the limits/home area that is causing
the Y steppers to run in opposite directions just when homing?

Thanks in Advance,

Preston

Hi Guys,

I've got one computer desktop up and running Mach 3 very well and have another desktop that I loaded the same version of Mach 3 and then copied the same xml file to the new box.

When I press any x,  y, or z key on the MPG the DRO increases or decreases but nothing moves...If I go into Diagnostics and press the E Stop the red light lights up, so there is some communication.

I checked to see that the motor tuning is exactly the same.

It does not however see the limit switches if I manually trip them.

Any ideas to sort this out are most welcome...

I'm trying to get this box functioning first on the router, so that I know it's functional before moving it to the Hurco mill conversion.

Best Regards,

Preston

Hello Everyone,

Well after spending 3 days searching for what was causing Mach Version 2.61 to act crazy after having worked great for months, someone recommended that I redo the config in a new file.

I did that and now everything works, except I cannot find the box to check for reversing the A axis stepper motor direction that is slaved to the Y axis... the motors are going in opposite directions on the gantry...

I went through the manual and it says to goto config/ motor reversals...BUT that tab is not listed under my config options.

Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Best Regards,

Preston pulling out my hair >:(
