Hello Again, Okay...so. I am just going to remove the four-wire, optical switches for homing and limiting. No issue. I will just use a 3D Printer to make a part for the right angle and then put in two-wire limit/home switches so I can use HomeAll. I am thinking that the knocking is due to the step/d...

Okay, So, I have an optical switch, i.e. two actually. I have tried to set up the machine in various ways for homing. I cannot put my homing axis and limiting axis separate. Also...the VCP is not popping up any longer on my computer. Is it because of the legacy CNC12 4.xx used instead of the newer v...

@cnckeith, I did. I made a couple actually. I thought I posted them already but it is for my sake. I understand. Seth P.S. By the way, the post of the link(s) start here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/J8t6CoWKgTyE9yHJ8 I see some people have already viewed it. Thank you to anyone viewing it and having a...

Here, Sorry for all the posts... motor.jpg Seth P.S. I have been reading the manuals for the Acorn CNC and CNC12. So, "Limit" or "Limits" is the definition I was looking to understand (I think). So, on the machine, one would (in a router based CNC) account for Limit X and Limit Y...

Dang it, let me fix the photo a bit.

Hello @ShawnM,

Seth here. Here is the photo of one of the two motors, i.e. each are the same brand and type.

P.S. If you need any additional data from me, please let me know.

Aw and correct,

Mix up...not a tiny one either. I will get on the photo soon. Thank you again.

LimitAll or FirstAxisHomeOk I have a four wire stop. This optical switch is for altering the start and stop of the axis, e.g. XY only. I am using a laser with only X and Y axes. I am not sure whether to use LimitAll or FirstAxisHomeOk or FirstAxisMinusLimitOK/FirstAxisPlusLimitOK. I have the grounds...

I know this is odd. Now, I know the smoke was a minor defect. But...it still works! Anyway, here is the data I retrieved... report_20D77886E5A7-1123226665_2024-04-10_01-28-24.zip That is my current report for the 20" * 12" base envelope and CNC12 build. I was thinking that my machine size ...

Magic smoke...blah. I tried another PSU with the same 24v supply and something happened this time. The knocking was still around but this time magic smoke came out of the driver. It is probably ruined now. Anyway... 1. I need to find another driver and then get back on it. 2. I think the extra groun...
