DRO's do not always zero?
« on: August 23, 2015, 09:37:15 AM »
I am setting up a new plasma table and find that when referencing, the DRO's do not always zero after.

Usually works but not always???

I am referencing X normally (DoButton ( 22 ) i think ) but Y is slaved and I'm using RefCombination ( 10 ) in the ref button script.

Any thoughts?

Check "Auto Zero" in Config > Homing/Limits

If you have offsets set, the DRO's will display the offset, as homing zeroes the machine coordinates, not necessarily the DRO's.
