Sure...

Me too..

But if I hit ref all before a program is loaded it works every time.. If it is after a program and I hit ref all sometimes it works like a charm and sometimes it don't.
Hey THANKS 4 all the help in advance. I'll need more than you'll ever expect!!!

Mmmm, That is interesting. Mine seems to do it at any point and then sometimes it works fine?????

I am going to try a different PC and see what happens. I am using one of the MachMotion PC's now.

Did yours get better after updating the software to R3.041?

Hello,
That is odd... Could you please see if you jog before you home if that will fix it? I am thinking that we have a mode in the Galil that is not getting set and jogging may set it :)

Thanks

Brian,

The travels are long on this machine so we usually jog it close to the switches before homing. When it hangs I have to exit  and restart Mach3 before it will attempt to home again. I have to jog off the home switch at this point to re-home. I am using external buttons through Modbus, brains and OEMButtons to jog, don't know if that makes a difference.

Pointcloud,

I read where you have the PCI card. I am using the DMC-2183 with ethernet connection. Trying a different PC will be allot easier for me.

That seems odd.. I would think that may be a noise problem.. we could make a bit of code to test the inputs and tell if they ever see the input go high...
Thanks

Just ESC instead of exiting? That way you will not loose positioning? Or your offsets????

Still have not made it back to the shop....

ESC will let it jog again but it will not try to home again untill I exit Mach. If I try home after ESC it will not jog until I hit ESC again.

I will check for noise also. I am using the opto board which specs 1mA for input current, approximately 2v but I have found they will trigger at lower voltages.

Sounds to me like I should be able to fix it in code too.. You should be able to press Escape and have that fix it!...
I need to take the Galil test board down to the router and hook it up.. Could you please tell me what you are doing to make it fail?

Thanks
