General Mach Discussion / MX4660 + ESS + Mach3 configuration question
« on: January 24, 2018, 09:55:30 PM »
good day all,
I have just got my system back online from upgrading the dreaded TB controller board to a ESS and MX4660 and I am now officially lost on the configurations. Let me be clear everything is up and running and it's cutting right now as i type so that part is worked out. I can't for the life of me figure out the limit switch setup. I have my z probe in input 1 and gnd on the mx4660 and I get no triggers in mach 3. I don't use micro switches any more but the auto z height was too tempting and now it's frustrating me in getting it set with these new components. I am sure it's a simple fix for those that know but the instruction manual for the mx4660 is less than clear on this matter. E-stop is shorted and is listed as port 1 pin 10 if that could be effecting things.
Thanks in advance.
