General Mach Discussion / Re: problems with homing on slaved axis a to x

Hey John,
    If you have them slaved, it's going to stop them both. Also, do you have a home switch and a limit switch or are they one in the same?

Thanks Zarzul,
      I have been trying to find it again. That is neat. You should make up some and list them in the bargain basement.

Hey Brandy,
    If I'm not mistaken, it means they are high. In other words, if the led is lit up where you have an active high set limit switch, Mach sees that limit switch as tripped, or made throwing an e-stop. Does this help?

Your right, I did misunderstand. Sorry about that. Yes, I doubt it is in your setup.

Of course I have disengaged one pinion.

Wire it back up to LPT and slaving works as it should.

Are you saying all is well with both engaged now?

Can you swap your motor wires at the drives? Make x=a and a=x. This might help narrow it down. Before you do that, have you tried the a axis with the x axis disabled?
