General Mach Discussion / error report

« on: December 17, 2006, 05:46:40 PM »

Hi, I am brand new to cnc, I have my machine built and have limit and home switches working properly, my question is why when I ask for a configuration test, it shows an error in output --no pins or ports selected, the only outputs I have enabled is for the pump signal and I have the proper settings set. Also what is the proper sequence to test the machine, I type in some g code in the mdi screen but when I switch to run screen, the code is not there. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

General Mach Discussion / home switches

« on: December 15, 2006, 06:47:10 PM »

Hi, I am new and just finished my desktop machine using a board from hobby cnc with an e stop addition, my limit switches are nc in series and by checking one of the axis in the pins input screen they work fine triggering an e stop, my home switches are nc hooked up individually to their own pin and activated in the above screen, when I manually push the home switches with the axis moving, nothing happens, the motor continues on. What am I missing? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
