Post away Rick!  Just because others aren't posting doesn't mean they aren't looking.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Home Offset Proble
« on: May 22, 2013, 08:09:37 PM »
The way your using your plate as a z home switch should work.  When you do this and the number is some number other than the +0.230 you have set for your home off distance, are you looking at the machine coord. DRO or the work Coord. Dros.  I'm assuming work Coords becasue when you do a ref all home the machine coord. dros of x and y should zero out by them selves if you do not have home switches enabled in ports and pins for the x and/or y axis.  When you say

I then set X and Y to 0.

I think you are zeroing your work coord. DROS by clicking the zero x and zero y buttons beside their respective dros.  This will not zero the machine coor. dros although they should be because you just referenced the machine (if you haven't moved it).  Run through your routine and before you jog press the MAchine Coord. button below the dros and see if the z number is what you set for your z home off distance.

You probably need to turn the velocity and accel way down from what they are now if your trying to use the auto calibrate.  Best to do the math to arrive at your steps per for this reason.  If you skip steps while doing the auto calibrate or have backlash that isn't taken up auto calibrate will not take that into consideration.

OK, all offsets are based on machine coordinates which is what you set when you reference the machine.  When you fire Mach up do you jog to a known location and hit the reference all button?  Setting your work coordinates 0 and your reference (machine) zero are 2 totaly different things.

Do you have home switches set up on your machine?

TropicalGuru, have you set up your spindle pulley?

If you could run Mach3 on a laptop with a Parallel port consider yourself lucky.  I know some have gotten away with it but it is not recommended for good reason.

Laptops running parallel ports are not supported.  You probably want to look for an external motion device such as the smooth stepper.  You may want to read the Mach3 Mill Install and Config. Guide.  It can be found under the support tab at the top of this page in the the documents section.

You may not be accounting for backlash in your test or you could be skipping steps because you have the accel or velocity higher than the motors can move the machine.

Those numbers the guy gave you, is that suppose to be your steps per unit and if so, in what units?  mms to be sure?
