How is your smoothstepper setup.. Cause I can't get mine to work. I'm using an ESS Smoothstepper, well right now I'm not using it. But I have it sitting around, and would like to be able to do so in the future.

Hi ger.

I have not gotten around to putting the M6end part onto the machine, but here's the video with Gerry's changed initial tool setting.

By the way Ger

Have I done something wrong?
When ever I try to use the rapid movement to 0,0,0 thenZ axis retracts beyond limit switch and beyond 0, and slams against the top, triggering the drive over current.
Should I run a soft limit on this, or something?

I have uploaded a video of the initial script running. Very nice even.

Hi Gerry

Is it possible to set the fixed touch off plate to only move in the Y axis, I was planning og attaching my fixed touch off plate to the gantry sides, so it moves along the X axis along with the gantry, thus only needing the Y wagon to move to the side to do a tool zero operation.
If this is not possible, then I'll figure something out, but it would be easier, since moving 1000-1400mm in one direction each time will take up some time in the cutting sequence.

General Mach Discussion / Limit/home switch setup problems.

« on: February 09, 2012, 08:26:21 AM »

Hello everybody.

I'm still a noob, even though I have owned the program for almost 3 years now...

I want to setup my home and limit switches on the same pins on my BOB. The setup is no problem, but the functions of the switches is a bit more tricky I have leraned.

I need a script of some sort that will allow me to move the machine manually if the machine hits a limit switch.

But after trying numerous things I have come up short.

I have heard however that a script which tells mach3 what to do if a limit switch is triggered is the only way to go.

I have searched this forum alot, and have yet to find anything regarding this. Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?? I'm at a loss here...
