Hi

Yesterday we tested again and we saw, it was the old mach3 version still installed. We deinstalld and deleted all mach 3 programs and folders. and install the newest mach3 version with the ss plugin V17f.

Now it works fine. sorry about the confusion.

Regards Philipp

Hi Hood


Without the hook:
1. Z move up, Z switch, chang the direction move to switch OK (closed) 
2. Y move to -Y, Y switch, change direction  and move to the switch is ok 
3. X and C move to -X, X switch , both change the direction and move to switch X OK.   

        C is not checked the switch.

with the hook:   (1 and 2 are the same)
1. Z move up, Z switch, chang the direction move to switch OK (closed)   
2. Y move to -Y, Y switch, change direction  and move to the switch is ok 
3. X and C move to -X, X switch , X change the direction and move to switch X OK and immediately again -X over the limitswitch   
4.                             C switch , C Axis change the direction and move to the switch is ok.   
     
Anything in part 3 going wrong!

Hi Hood

To align the gantry, (synchronise the two Axis) I have to disable "Home Slave with Master Axis" ?
It's run with the newest Plug in 


 In the register "Homing/Limits" is a column with "Home Off." but with this values it's changed nothing.
I would like to going a little away from the limitswitch.

General Mach Discussion / Dual Axis homing

« on: July 01, 2012, 10:03:20 AM »

Hello
I try a gantry milling machine with a dual X axis (C slave) to homing.
All axis has its own reference switches. Z and Y works well.
With the hook "Home with Master Slave Axis" will stop the X axis and moves the switch again free. (C Slave the same)
Without active "Home with Master Axis" adjusted the slave axis, but the X axis run over the reference switch.


Mach3R3.043.058W-33
PlugIn: SmoothStepper_v17f

Attached is the xml

How I have to set does the homing also works with the slave?

Regards
