Defeat Limit switch?

[Pardonmebuthelp]

Why do I not have a "defeat limits" button under reset home as shown in Marty's virtual control panel video? I searched for about an hour and a few people mentioned the button on the VCP, and wiring I guess a momentary switch. I am working on the swiches and homing and zri feature but my machine is stuck on the switch.

I have also noticed and reported that the defeat limits button is intermittent on the screen. That may be a result of being in a state where the limits would not be expected

Ah ok It seemed like it wasn't an issue since I could barley find any information on it. Luckily I had a switch laying around I wired it into the same input as my Limit switches and to the acorns common so it would disable the limit switches, I quickly realized no one is on the forums on a Sunday waiting to solve problems so I just did it.

Hmm now that i wrote the home file the button is there now go figure

If anyone else has a mill with dyn2 controllers, 3 home switches in series, and is using ZRI here is the simple Home file which is called cncm and the type of file is "Hom type" in the cncm folder in your computers local disk. Thanks to Marty's video it was easy

I am using the dyn2 hook up schematic exactly having all three Zri's going to input 2 on acorn and all three alarms going to input 5.

My mill is has the Z home switch in the +direction
The X&Y home switch is in the -direction


M92 /Z L1 F30 ;Move Z to Z+ home switch(input1), back off until it clears.
M105 /Z P2 F3 ;Move Z *Minus* until input 2 closes
M26 /Z; Set Z machine home here

M91 /Y L1 F30 ; Move Y to Y- home switch(input1), back off until it clears
M106 /Y P2 F3 ; Move Y in the *Plus* direction until input 2 closes
M26 /Y ; Set Y machine home here

M91 /X L1 F30 ; Move X to X- home switch(input1), back off until it clears
M106 /X P2 F3 ; Move X in the *Plus* direction until input 2 closes
M26 /X ; Set X machine home here

Cool feature isn't it. You now have the homing precision of an industrial machine.
What kind of machine are you running?

Yes all of this is great so far I'm learning and waiting on the mpg release. Its a little x2(lms3900) small that I scraped all of the ways and upgraded to ground screws on the X and Y with another on hand for the Z which that's on the list to do.
