Mach4 General Discussion / MACH4 and ESS with homing issues
« on: May 22, 2015, 02:41:41 PM »
I have Mach3 running without issues on my machine... Getting ready for the plunge into Mach4 - So i am running in Demo. I would like to have system at least semi-working before taking the leap.
I have X, Y, Z working as they should, but whenever I try to home any one axis or all axes, Mach4 locks up - stuck in homing.
Specifically Mach4, after pressing Ref or Ref All:
* Selected axis heads in the correct direction to the homing limit,
* Touches the switch,
* Lights the Home switch on Diag. screen, and
* Never backs off the switch
* Never exits the homing sequence
I have to exit Mach4 and start up again to get control of machine.
I have followed DazTheGas videos (thanks!) and must be overlooking something. Might this be a result of still in demo mode? Any help is greatly appreciated.
