Hi, Thkoutsidthebox

If you hit the Tab key it will allow you to un-select the Shuttle Mode, Hit the Tab key again the window will close.

As far as your Y axis direction, Hard to say what caused it, Check your Config, Ports & Pins, Outputs as Jim stated, But Thy should all be in the same for Dir and Step, Ether Active Low or High, "Checked or X".

If an axis is backwards, Change it in Config, Homes & Limits Page, Use the Reverse Box, Ether "Checked or X", Some stepper controls don't work or preform poorly if the Active Low or High are set wrong/mismatched.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Ken

In the past there were some problems with edit button scripts being saved properly, Use the Config, "Save Settings" and give it a try.

What ver of Mach3 are you using, Under help, "About", Using ver R3.041 hear.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Ken

If you having problems with your sw's being unreliable/inconsistent, Set "De-Bounce Interval" to 1000 - 2000 in Config, General Configuration.

This delays Mach a little in seeing your sw's, Dampening/Insuring it's a valid sw opening/closing (Switches sometimes bounce a little).

Try the code above for your .5 in "re-position", Put this code in your "reff all home" Button, Operator, Edit Button Script, Click on "Ref All Home" Button.

Hi, Ken

Put this code in your "reff all home" button, It's probably not what you want, Who Now's.

Limits are limits, I thought you wanted Homing, Homing is homing, It doesn't lock-up.

Try asking a question without telling us it's all do-do around hear.

Hi, Ken

Just what is it you really want Mach to do.

Mach has a settable Home speed's, When Mach is in Homing mode it doesn't turn off or E-stop anything. You may need your vb script/code in the "Reff All Button" that controls homing, Or Setup some home sw's inside your limit sw's.

It's under Operator, Edit Button Scripts, the Ref All button will flash click on it.
 
"Limits shuts every thing down", It depends how you wire your system it doesn't have to shut down everything.

Many machines you need to set a override sw or hold a reset sw to move off the limit sw's Mach has that also.

Documentation, In the last year or so there have been many features added to Mach. Theres allot of info.

There are sections hear for, vb, macro, braines, With many people to help.

Hang In There, Chip

Hi, Ken

If your using the same sw for Home/Limit, Turn the Limit function off till you get your program working.

When homing Mach treats the sw as a home sw, After there homed and have moved off the sw's there treated as Limits, If turned on in ports/pins, inputs.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Suthy

In Setup, Loading Options, Auto Clean do you have Ignore Text Entities un-checked, or you may need to explode text in the Cad.

Hope this Helps, Chip
