Try creating a new profile then run that to see if there is any improvement. You could possibly have a corrupt .xml which is causing the problem with your existing profile.

General Mach Discussion / Re: limit switches

If you are going to be using mechanical switches then my recommendation would be twin screened cable (twin shielded) with the screen (shield) connected to Earth at the controller end only (I use Honeywell microswitches for my limits but everybody perhaps has their own favourites).

Steve, you have a typo: forums.machsupport.com/forum
Extra letter

Error corrected for the benefit of those that follow.

(Just a note; the forum has now been updated and changing 'forum/www' is no longer necessary).

Forum suggestions and report forum problems. / Re: *** FORUM SEARCH FACILITY BROKEN ***

« on: January 09, 2019, 05:57:16 AM »

It took a while (and some) to complete but I think the new-look forum is just great.
My congrats to all those involved in resolving the Search function and other issues.

Hello all,

Thanks for your feedback. This is the first time I have been able to access the forum at all in a few weeks. Our team is aware of the issues and they will be addressed whenever possible.

Hi Bryanna,

I have a real  sneaky feeling that if your Team have been aware of the Search issue since 28th.November then, by now, I would be ever so slightly doubtful of their competence.
Perhaps you could inform the Team that the Search facility has been broken and ask them if they could possibly spare some time to fix it, assuming that they are not too busy.
Many thanks from and on behalf of so many of the Forum Members.
