Thanks for your prompt reply guy's, much appreciated.
Hood i do not have any limit switches hooked up at the moment, I am just using the auto limits function in homing and limits, so that may rule out noise in the limit switches.
If i have reference my machine and then run a program like the road runner or just simply jogged around the table and the
press go to zero the machine will not home to zero, it does nothing however if i go to the MDI screen and place code
G0 x0 yo0 it will return to it's home possi.
I have run the driver test and according to the video it all seems fine with a fairly good signal, but i will look at general config and have a play around with that debounce setting you mentioned.
Finally today a new problem has cropped up that had me a little stumped with the jogging of the machine and the DRO's.
If i try to jog around the table with the arrow keys or the jog pop up menu on or off line the DRO's only increment or decrement by 00010" every time i hit the arrow key on all axis, yet if i command say G0 X10 Y10 Z -5 they all wok fine at
good speeds, maybe it is something that is silly that i just can't put my finger on and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Docltf, I don't understand what you mean by squaring up my power supply, could you please describe how to do this, as I was led to believe that the caps would smooth any ripple from the tordial before it was rectified but i might be wrong as i don't have a very strong understanding of electronics.
Cheers Lou.
