General Mach Discussion / Homing issue with slaved axis

« on: June 04, 2012, 01:09:27 AM »

I'm trying to square the gantry but I'm having an issue.  I have the A axis slaved with the X axis, but when I leave the checkbox unchecked that says "home slave with master axis" the slaved axis (A) does not move at the same rate of the X axis.  it moves slower causing the gantry to twist.  Jogging is no problem.  This problem only seems to occur when homing.  I would like to leave the box unchecked as I believe it will square the gantry as there are limit switches @ both ends of each of the three axis.  All limit switches are wired in parallel and are normally open.
