Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MACH4 Warp9 ESS Homing causing Mach4 to exit

OK, solved.  I upgraded Mach4 to version 4.2.0.5134 and ESS to version 285.  For some reason I had to turn on the homing switches for motor1 & motor2 also but that's OK as I'm now going to wire in those two switches anyway.  I just normally like to add and test one item at a time.

Thank for the reply. Sorry, not using the switches as limit switches.  I also disconnected one switch, configured the ESS plugin to only use one switch but the same thing happens.  Mach4 just exits.  I turned on logging.  It shows the switch (or switches) activating and then nothing (probably because Mach4 crashed).  So I checked Windows Event Viewer, nothing there, no errors or anything.  Really has me baffled.

Quick FYI, Mach4 version is 4.2.0.4809 and I've tried three different versions of Warp9 ESS (283, 284 & 285 - no change).

Can't figure this one out.  I have Mach4 with a Warp9 ESS board.  Everything works except for when I home the machine.  It homes in the proper direction, touches the switches (I have two steppers on Y and thus two switches, one per stepper).  The machine moves to home, touches the switches, moves slowly away from the switch and then MACH4 exits.  As it, Mach4 exits to the desktop. When I go  back into Mach4, I can continue from there if I wish.  Just don't ref home.
