General Mach Discussion / Question about Homing Offset feature in Mach 3
« on: October 28, 2015, 02:21:41 PM »
Under the motor home and soft limits menu in Mach 3 there is a place to put in values for homing offsets.
I tried putting in two different values there for my X and Y axis home switches. I used 1.000 and 0.250 on both switches for two different checks. Then I told those axis to go to their homes. I did not see the motors come back way from the switches on those two axis any differently than before I changed them from their default settings of 0.000 and did a Ref Y or a Ref Z to home my gantry in those axis.
Someone I know told me that this feature used to work like that for home but now it does not work anymore. If that is what this setting is for it did not work for me either. Is this a bug or no longer valid or is this setting for some other function?
Cheers,
Ed
