General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Ref All Homing gets hung up
« on: February 19, 2021, 06:37:23 PM »
When homing I have an occasional problem with homing the Y Axis (my machine uses individual steppers, Hall Effect sensors for limits, Mach3 & SmoothStepper USB).
Most of the time I get M1/2/3 and M5 Home working and the machine backs off the sensor deactivates.
Occasionally one side or the other doesn't clear the sensor causing a limit switch error. If I power down the steppers and push that side off and retry it usually works. But, today it didn't. It kept tripping and then it also switched sides in the Y.
Really frustrated and would appreciate some help.
Thank you
