Hello folks
Need you help again please.
We hooked all up, fired up the PC and HobbyCNC proboard - managed to jog all 3
axes smoothly. Motors are locked and humming, not much heating at all - seems
prefect.
My troubles start with the switches. I know it may be a SW issue but I suspect
some HW issues as well.
Homing switches all work on the diagnostic tab in Mach3 Can see them pop up when
pushing.
When trying to share the home switch of Y axis with the Y--, it pops up a
"limit switch triggered error". I can reset, all looks good but after a second
or so, the limit error message pop up again - without any button being pressed.
When trying to reference Y axis - it behaves as if the switch is not there at
all (jumping from Z to X axis) Further more - when trying to ref Y axis
separately via the diagnostic page - the motor moves slightly and stops.
Then tried to do the limit switches - I get the limit switch triggered error no
matter what I do - high or low active - without any if them pressed.
We checked all the switches wiring - all looks good.
Home switches are hooked to pins 10 (x) 12(y) 13 (z), and the E stop is hooked
on it's NC side to the main power line going to TB6 and the NO side goes into
pin 15. (seems to work OK)
My limit switches are hooked in series to pin 11. All switches grounded to the
same ground.
Any idea where to look ?
Many thanks
Isaac
