Hi Tweaking.  I will send you the sml file tonight. If my computer was hit by lightning could it have fried something in the bob? If so could I get you to suggest a good bob for a 4 axis machine with ss. Hopefully I can get the file to you early enough so you can look 5it thanks again Kevin

Ok we tried the xlm and it brought back the z dro but the z- won't work . Yesterday we reloaded mach3 and my z works fine. But now when I  ref all home the z works fine but the y axis when it hits the home button it slowly starts to move in the + direction. So I hit the stop. When I go to do it again it has inverted from low to high so I have to go and change the imputed signal to get it going the right way. The x axis is the same.  Where do I go next.

I got the x and y all calibrated but when I go to try to calibrate the z it starts to move the it sounds like it is ting to turn at 1000 times what it is supposed to. I set the speed to 5 it was set at 500. It's like it isn't changing and the machine won't handle that speed. The dro in z is not changing off 0 any thoughts.

General Mach Discussion / Weird problems

« on: March 05, 2016, 08:27:05 PM »

I am new to cnc so bare with me please. I've had my machine for a little while  but I got away from it for a year. I fired up the computer and it wouldn't come on. It wound up the power supply was fried. Mite have been hit by lightning. I got that fixed and  install ed home and limit switches. I wired them with 18 gauge sheilded wire hooked in series. I sent all the axis to home which they activated and worked fine, so I shut down the machine for the day. The next day everything was at 000 so I moved to axis and re home again and the z moved to the +hit the home switch and stopped. Then the y move to the - and stopped along way from the switch.  The x did the same. So I retried by going to move the z in the - but it hit the home limit again. It winds up that the + automatically changed to - but nothing indicated this anywhere on any screen. The other axis were the same. 1 other problem is that the z dro is not changing  in either motion of the axis and all my of axis are off in calibration.  Can anyone  help me I'm  getting frustrated.

The problem I am having is my z axis is staying at .000 and not changing on any movement. Every time you  hit the all home the z moves to the top hits the home switch, you go to move the machine to the - and it has automatically changed for active low to high reverseing the the controls. Is there anyone out there that has any ideas. All my coordinates are off to.
