Hi,
I have slaved the D axis to the X axis, in order to drive a gantry. I have a limit switch hooked up for testing, through the X axis wiring on the galil. Whenever I activate the X axis limit switch, the D-Axis limit switches light up with the X axis limit switch (on the Mach diagnostic screen). The D axis limit switch is not hooked up at all. Why is this?
My second question is regarding the home sequence for a slaved gantry. If the gantry is bolted together "square", and I press home, will it be able to find both gantry home switches (X and D), without racking my gantry? Ideally, I would like to home to an index on both axis, so that once I do square the gantry (initial machine setup), it would stay that way.
I wish there was a little more documentation on this. Galil documentation for the homing routines are okay, but I am not sure what applies to the Mach Galil plugin. Thank you for your help!
