« on: January 16, 2007, 06:50:44 PM »

Does any one know the status of Grex100 Plug-in and Mach3
Soft limits still allow you to over jog
When will this be fixed
it has been a long time now

Cool
 I thought there would be a loop hole!
Programers think of everything 
 
Thanks for the quick reply

So i need to have a second set of switches setup to cause an estop to keep this from happening
Is there a trick i can use to have the home switches function as the travel limits
the limit switches im using are optical

I got my limit switches working and still crashes the axises!
any idea when this will be fixed?
or should just plan on parallel port setup for now?

When the system is homing it  works fine.
Once homed ,
if you jog any axis manually
 It will overshoot and crash the axis
So the safe limits need fixing!
I can do without the softlimits but need safelimits!

Thanks for the good work

Thankyou that is what i thought,
Well that will give me the incentive
to get the limit switches installed

The unit i am using i got off of ebay
Its an old Sony robot  kind of light weight
So My Crashes are not as destructive as others!
It just keeps adding counts on the DRO
IT is just a testing platform for me to learn Mach3 and CNC Programing
Though it may work ok for a PCB Router?

Thanks for the help everyone
No rush on the softlimits just thought i was missing somthing

Yes soft limits are enabled( if i load roadrunner file i get message about exceeding soft limits)
But when i Jogg it will crash on all 3 axis if i let it jogg that far
I am running Mach3 Version 2.0.022 the latest it also did it in the previous version
On your machine can you jogg past the soft limits??
