Steve,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I actualy only have one switch per axis that travels with the axis so whichever end it hits it triggers both limits and home. The switches are all active high (although I can change this).
When homing in Mach3 the axis moves slowly till it triggers the limit/home and then stops with no further movement.

When using the Galil console I have to call the LD command to disbable both limits for an axis then HM to call the homing sequence and it all works fine.
Going through the debug files, it shows the soft limits disabled but not limit switches.

I also have two rotational axes that have switches that only trigger home (limit wires unnatached) and these work fine when homing in Mach3.

Galil / limits not being disabled
« on: February 17, 2011, 08:33:19 AM »
Hi,
I'm using a DMC4060 and have shared limits/homes.
I've ticked the 'use limits as homes' as I presume this disables limits when homing.
Unfortunately when homing the limits still get triggered and I get the Emessage = "22 Begin not possible due to limit switch." flashing up.
I've attached the debug file.
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Hi,
Plugin nearly works perfectly however have the following questions/requests:

In LI mode the plugin use VT command which has been superceded by IT I believe. Any chance this can be updated?

How do the burnt settings on the controller affect the settings in mach3?
eg max velocity,acceleration,deceleration? Are these values overridden by the Mach motor tuning values?

I have a gantry where the second X motor (B axis) has to run in the reverse direction and so a gearing value of -1 needs to be applied. The plugin only sets a gearing of 1. Can I burn the correct gantry settings and they will be used (if i dont slave axes in Mach)
Thanks
