One last problem
« on: June 13, 2016, 03:41:51 PM »
Hi
Finally almost there on my set up, one last issue. I have a rectangle work area 24" x 96" my home is the bottom left corner. When I ref all, all axis home fine to the home spot. I load the road runner to test out the system it loads in the bottom left corner fine. I push start and the machine try's to move in opposite direction of the work, and out of my table workspace.
Went to homing and limits page  to uncheck and reverse X but all it does is move my home to right hand corner. How or what do I change to orient my movement in the proper direction. I don't know if this issue is affecting my Y and Z because off the direction movement it trips my limits right away.
Many thanks Bill

Hi
Is it possible that the gcode in the roadrunner sample is written to move the axis in a certain direction and were I have chosen my home is not compatible/

In the MDI screen, zero the X axis DRO, then input G0 X10
Press Return.
Does the X axis move in the + direction (to the right) and the DRO subsequently read +10.0000 ?

Ya' gotta be thinkin' which way the *TOOL* moves in relation to the table; not which way the table moves. ;D

Hi
Sorry if I didn't explain it correctly, By machine I meant my Gantry, I assume I need to change a setting to reverse the tool direction  so when it is moving in the + direction the tool is moving to the right not left
Thanks Bill

Go into Config. / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs and change the Direction Low Active state for your X axis. This will reverse it's direction of travel.

No, just the Direction Low Active should be changed.
