Ok! I made a bit more progress.
First- G28 does not stop on a home switch for me. it just kept going...
But, I now have Mach3 homing the Z and X (manually) by pressing "set home Z" and "set home X"
This works, but I would have thought "home Z" and "Home X" would have been the correct commands....
Anyway, is their a way to go in and change the rate at which the machine travels to home Z and Home X? My machine only has max 30IPM, and it appears that when using "set home Z" and "set home X" that it only wants to travel at .29IPM! painfully slow! Sure I can jog over to a better spot and start from there, but I would rather just hit the buttons and have it travel over at 10IPM.
Does it make sense that I maight write a macro that I can assign the "home all" button to, that will home X at 10IPM and then home Z at 10IPM? Also, could this macro be written to then assign a number to the home locations IE: Z 4.00 and X 16.00?
Mabie this is what the G28 "home location coordinates" are for? or mabie not, I have not been able to use G28 sucessfully. It seems that when I do G28, that it just goes to the numbers I have put into the "home location coordinates" boxes, and does not stop at the actuation of the switches and then re write the home locations to be the numbers in the "home location coodinates" box, like I thought it would have.
So many questions...
