Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies but Dave...I
can jog into and away from a soft limit like you can... but if I hit a
full limit (as opposed to a soft limit) movement stops (correctly) but I can't reset to allow me to manually 'back-off' as the reset says 'no reset while a limit switch is active'.
I set all the pins manually with no issues but there does exist this anomaly in Mach3 that once on a full limit you can do nothing to get off it manually without going back into the program, altering a parameter, coming out the program, moving the axis OFF the limit, going back into the program, returning the parameters to normal and then carrying on! Mach3 is so comprehensive that I had imagined there would be a couple of lines of code that allowed you to jog AWAY from a hit limit switch with a jog button. I'm sure the coder had a reason to not include it...probably safety or something.
I'll live with it
