General Mach Discussion / Re: Input signals not registering on limit LEDs
« on: June 19, 2013, 04:31:44 PM »
Hi all
I'm converting an old Farley Wizard to Mach3 and run into some issues and need help.
I have the 2 axis motors working fine (actually excellent after some motor tuning)
My problem are the input signals for the limit and home switches
In axis X, limit (-) and home are connected to pin 12 and the (+) switch is connected to pin 11 and set up exactly the same way on the ports and pins window (red cross on the low setting) but...
X- and Home work fine but the X+ doesn't work at all
Same applies to the Y axis but there only the Y+ works.
I'm using Mach3 version 067 with license
All limit/home switches are NC
2 Stepper driver (2M982) set up to 1000 steps and 5Amps output (running sweet)
Motor are rated at 1205 oz at 5Amps
The breakout board is opto isolated and all signal are working fine (closed -5V, open 0V.
The funny thing is that I get problems on a different pin every time I reboot the computer
Will post .xml file tomorrow.
Please help
Ric
