General Mach Discussion / Ref All Home & Auto Square Not Working
« on: July 09, 2016, 10:43:10 AM »
First time post and fairly new to CNC & Mach3
X & A slaved
"Home slave with master" is unchecked
"Ref All Home" script - RefCombination(9)
No limit switches on Y & Z yet
X & A are reversed so they work correctly, home negative is checked for both
X & A are identical in the motor tuning setup
I installed 2 hall effect proximity sensors on the X & A axis - separate pins on BOB (pin 13 & 12 respectively)
When the magnet approaches the sensors the light on the sensor goes out and the light on M1Home & M4Home activates
Problem is when I "Ref All Home" the gantry moves toward the sensors (negative) as it should
one of the sensors will activate, the other side will stop moving, still not activated
the activated side continues moving negative and racks the gantry
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Joe
