Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Homing
« on: October 24, 2015, 03:48:48 PM »
Hello,
I am a newbie to the Mach4 CNC community (~5 months) and have a simple cnc mill that operates pretty well for the most part. Unfortunately, I have been trying to solve the same problem as kingkerf from the beginning of my cnc build. I've tried multiple versions of Mach4, and updated ESS plugins as recommended. Regardless of what I have tried, I am having the same problem that kingkerf explained with my mill. My slaved y axis behaves as expected, but my x, and z axis simply shut down once the limit switch is activated. All limit switches behave just fine under normal operating conditions. Based on your previous advice, I have logged and attached the homing data files for the y, x, and z axes. The work and advice offered on this forum is outstanding and any help you may be able to offer would be appreciated. I am currently running Mach4 version 2763 using ESS plugin build 132. Finally, I would like to state that I am a HUGE fan of the videos that DaztheGas has provided. The videos expedited my build time tremendously - thank you.
