TB drives can work ok or not, they can be poor quality or slightly better quality and I believe they require a wider pulse and of 5v rather than 3.3v.

Jog keys jog an axis and thats all.

How are you sending home? Is it a button or is it a G28.1from code or?  If a button what is the code in the button?

hi hood hope you are well

i am using g28 to move away from home switches to a comfortable area ie center of rails  now i hit ref all home on program run screen

i can cut retangles now but getting stuck on ribs i am not sure if i am using the wrong type of line to draw

hood if you get a chance could you please look at this file it is for a wing section but when i load it it look fine on screen but the 4 axis hot wire machine makes it off set ie where the wing spars would the back of the wing section drops by about 6-8 mm top and bottom

cheers mate          marky

hi all thanks for all help recieved

i have found if i switch off the backlash  my machine cuts the right shape ie a wing profile but now the garrages go to home switches but do not come back off of them

i have looked at the soft max, soft min,slow zone and home off to sort out my problem lol to be honest i dont know what to look for or do

may thanks marky
