Re: Auto Square with NO NPN Proximity Sensors issues

I am also having issues with auto pairing.

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

both NO and NC switches are supported with axis pairing and auto squaring. several users have had issues with NO switches, this is why we always recommend NC switches. see hookup examples in the axis pairing guide. here.. https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/acorn_documentation/paired...

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Should not be the case... Can't see what you see. Always post a fresh report. Use your diagnostic screen (Alt and the i key) to watch the inputs (far upper left hand corner, legend is in the middle of the diagnostic screen under the last virtual LED line. Video clip would be helpful. Do you have an...

Re: Help, weird error

Hey Larry- the keyboard shortcut to display machine coord is Alt + D. You can hit it at any time, including during program run to toggle between machine / work coordinates Marty has good advice with the graph editor, that can be very useful as a double check of travel limits. Though I am pretty sure...

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Oh there is one question that is still looming, and that is why does my homing routine not work properly with switches set to NO? CNC12 doesn't back off the switch ones triggered like it should. Just stays there on top of it.

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Thank you cncsnw! That is what I was looking for! TY :) If it happens again (hopefully not) I'll know what to do. Thanks so much! Also I am going to get the prox sensors if my new limit switches end up still giving me issues- which I kind of have a feeling they will haha. I just got the "Temco&...

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Alright so Keith answered a few of my questions in another thread, but I would like to put in a feature request, if it isn't already possible:

If a job is stopped for any cancellation due to limit switches / fault / error, is it possible to show what line of GCODE the program ended at?

Re: 325 Limit Error?

Hi Keith! I just saw this, thanks so much for the heads up. Sorry, I just started another thread with some related stuff. The jumpering trick is going to work super well for now. I'll also get those proximity switches on order. The revolution steps are what the previous owner had set up in Mach3, an...

Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Alright I am back to NC switches, but still getting 325 job cancellations and not sure which axis/input is causing the most trouble because the info isn't shown. I found the log utility, but the 325 cancellation doesn't seem to be treated like an error so it doesn't show up. It's also becoming a bit...
