Galil / Auto Zero
« on: October 25, 2015, 05:48:39 PM »
Can anyone confirm if the Auto Zero function works while using a Galil controller?  or not?

I've been using a 2142 for quite awhile no problem but, I got the 2010 screenset and thought I'd add the autozero..  after initial touch instead of going up .050" and retrying, it's sends the Z up to the hard stop and jams, then the software appears to be trying to go back down for a little while and gives up.

It's been suggested that the plug-in cant handle auto zero..

thoughts?

General Mach Discussion / Home Switch on the high side

Mach3 -> Galil 2142 -> Routenstein w/servo motors

So I realize one day that I have enough parts from other machines to build a router.. yippee!  I put it all together and have been successful all the way to you getting it to properly home..  cutting air is on the horizon..
I have a single switch on each axis and am using it as a home switch for that axis.  They were already mounted nicely so I left them be - the X and Y ended up with the home switch on the high-side of the travel. in other words, as you're facing the machine, the X home is on the right and the Y home is at the back.  Of course, I want zero to be at the lower left.
I set the home offsets for X and Y to each be 24, expecting that when the machine was commanded to go to X0 and Y0 it would truck on down to the opposite corner.  Alas, it stays right where it is. Obviously, despite the DROs happily telling me 24.0000, the machine still considers itself at 0.0000

Can anyone tell m what I must do here?

many thanks!
