That was the issue. I'm a little embarrassed, but very appreciative. Thank you so much for your help!

I've updated the plugin as well as Mach4 to no avail. Problem persists.

Happens when referencing 1 at a time and all.

The limits work fine. They all trip & stop motion, just won't home.

Any ideas?

HiCON Motion Controller / 7766 / Mach4 Homing issue

« on: November 19, 2017, 04:31:46 PM »

Greetings. Noob & 1st time poster, please be gentle I have a log file that states an error with Hicon so, I figured this would be the place to post.

I've recently finished my 1st cnc router. Mach4 has been set up, motors mapped, home & limits set. I'm able to jog, haven't initiated gcode yet.

I have, however, tried to home the machine only to come across some errors:

I have followed the instructions in the HiCON Mach4 Software Integration PDF file as well as DazTheGas's instructions on youtube to set up homing & limits...see the attached jpegs ( thanks, Daz )

The final jpeg is from the Hicon Debug Window.

Would someone let me know what is wrong? Your help is greatly appreciated.
