OK so I sat down and re-installed 3 to make sure I had the new drivers, setup the pins and ports, checked all the various things...
The E-Stop is permantly on, I keep getting a 'Limit Switch Enabled' error, I checked the E-Stop button settings to be sure and they match MachII, I think the issue is in the home/limits screen.
Here is what I have set:
X Axis
Reversed: Off
Soft Max: 23.00
Soft Min: 0.00
Slow Zone: 1.00
Home Off: 0.000
Home Neg: Off
Auto Zero: On
Speed%: 30
For Y:
Soft Max: 36.50
For Z:
Reversed: On
Softmax: -4.80
All other settings are identical, the machine has three home switches and they are not engaged, I went to the diagnostics screen and the following leds where lit to yellow:
M1 ++Limit M1 --Limit M1 Home
M2 ++Limit M2 --Limit M2 Home
M3 ++Limit M3 --Limit M3 Home
When I trigger the X,Y and Z limit switches those lights all go out...
I'm going to sit down and read through the manual and see if I can make sense of this area, at least I know the controller is talking to MachIII so far.
There's no going back now
Thanks
