Mach4 Plugins / Re: Adding a plugin & lost Machine diagnostics

« on: July 30, 2020, 07:48:54 AM »

It looks like the standard WX4Router screen set does not have diagnostic tab added, so how do we do that ?
Also the Add plugin was hiding :-) under the control config tab.

I'm well on the way with my new machine setup using ESS & Mach4 Hobby
All drives and home/limits switches are now working.
I'm using the standard Screen set and I don't have a 'Machine diagnostics tab' nor can I find where to load a new Plugin.
Could someone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: Limit switch issues

« on: November 11, 2019, 02:35:36 PM »

Thanks Gents, I have reversed my Y Axis  as suggested Y+ Is now assigned as Y+ (&  Y Home) Opposite end is Y- (&  Y Limit)
X + is also X Home and X- is X Limit
and have also designated Z top of travel to Z+ (& Home)
I'm still unsure if my Limit and home switches are correctly positioned.
I'm getting confused with the table in the ESS Setup. (Attached)

General Mach Discussion / Limit switch issues

« on: November 07, 2019, 11:56:18 AM »

Please help,

After a long break away from my Router machine I decided on a rebuild.
I'm now using Mach4 with an ESS Smooth stepper
All 3 axis motors are running fine and I can Jog in all directions (until I configure my Limit Switches)
I have used 5 Limit Switches.
One for the Z Axis top of Travel. Z-
One for X Home and X - (Shared)
One for X +
One for Y Home and Y- (Shared_
One for Y+

I keep getting messages like 'Cant Jog towards limit switches etc'
Can anyone help me getting the correct boxes ticked in Mach4 setup and ESS Setup. I'm getting my knickers in a right twist. Need help.

Thanks

George
