Homing weirdness
« on: October 14, 2006, 05:59:22 PM »
Forgive me if this is something silly, But its got me stumped.

I set up a home switch on the X axis just to get a feel on how to set them up.
I have it set to normally closed , and manually hitting the switch lights up the LED Yadi yadi yadi,
The problem Im having is when I referance home the X axis moves about 1/8 inch to the switch then stops ?
Over and Over.
If I keep hitting ref home until the switch is hit it then backs off the switch like it should ?
Any idea what I may have set up wrong ?

It rapid and slow jogs just fine.

I have it set just like Arts in the video exept the Table size.

Not really sure, thats why I wanted a screenshot to see if I noticed anything unusual. Might want to try increasing the debounce setting.

Looked at all the screens and went through the manual.
Where is the Debounce setting ?

Depends which revision of Mach3, if its the latest few then its under the config menu and General Config page. If its a slightly older version I think its on the Config then  state page but could be config logic.

Suppose I need to upgradeĀ  ;D running 1.84.001
It was under config/Logic

I went from zero up to 20 in increments of one.
It made it go longer before stalling but still stalled after about an inch ??
What is the average setting ?
Not sure what it does actually.

What it does is make the inputs less susceptible to noise. I think mine is set at 100 by default but I am sure I have seen Art and Brian suggest as much as 1000.

Hmmm.
I have uber sheilded everything.
And the slow jog works smooth as butta'.
I'll crank it up and see what happens.
Thanks Hood.

Hey Hood,
     Do you think this may be where that tick of the axis is coming from on my axis when I fire up my machine?  My debounce and index debounce were set at 0. What is the index debounce?

Did you get those pics. I sent you yesterday?
;D If you could see the things I have in my head, you would be laughing too. ;D

My guard dog is not what you need to worry about!
