« on: January 31, 2021, 01:31:44 PM »

I was wondering if there is a way to add a touch plate for the corner of x and y and z height. I have the avid cnc  touch plate for reference. I have the hicon integra 7866 motion controller.

HiCON Motion Controller / Machine rapid drops after starting gcode

« on: March 24, 2020, 12:48:09 PM »

I am having a weird problem that doesnt happen all the time. I will zero the machine on the workpiece and start the program and it will just slam into the workpiece real hard. It already bent a vbit, I can do the same thing with the same file and it work as it's supposed to. Any guidance is appreciated.

HiCON Motion Controller / Hicon 7866 homing slave axis

« on: February 23, 2020, 08:59:52 AM »

I am having trouble getting my dual y axis motors to home properly. The Y side keeps bouncing on the switch or the A side will try to go the other direction after y trigger the home switch. I have tried everything I can think of my firmware is up to date, I am using the latest plug in, and my settings are as follows.
Homing/softlimits page

x0 Pos 2
y1 Pos 3
z2 Pos 1
a3 Neg 3
have tried with a3 with a pos and with a 4 no change.

Axis Mapping
a3 has no check and is slaved under y1 under slave 1

Input signals page
Motor 1 Home enabled Hicon P11 input 10
Motor 3 Home enabled Hicon P11 input 12

every now and again I will get limit switch Y++ tripped or Homing cancelled for Motor 3.

Any help is appreciated.
