What is cause the machine to need homed when the home switches are tripped? I want the machine homed every time i turn the machine on. When the X and Y axes are homing, they move away like you said until the switch untrips. But this distance is to close to the trigger point. When the torque of the m...

Hi Joey, Thanks for reply. I downloaded the tuner. Everything was already set up well and the pc is better than minimum requirements. I bought this pc especially for this machine and the only thing that's running is the acorn software. Attached a few picks of the machine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/M...

I just tried to jumper the ena wire of axes 1 and 4, like described in manual. But now both motors lose power instead of one after unpairing axes in home sequence. Software is keeping running in negative direction, but nothing is moving. And in the wizard all the pairing settings are deleted.

It took a few months, but finally some progress in this project. Sadly i'm facing some problems I downloaded the latest software en attached the report file Sometimes the program crashes. See attached pictures. Even after restart the computer, the computer is really slow and won't open any programs....

I reinstalled 5.02 and it seems to be better now. Still when playing with THC on or of the Machine coord can change a few mm. Looks like what you say is true, the program is keeping track on the limit position, but the value of zero is changing to another number, but is still 'zero' Anyway, when ins...

A video of the Z axis changing value in machine coord. without actual Z movement: https://youtu.be/kWWZ_5ebkxI?t=12 I deleted 5.02 and installed 5.0 Voltagereading looks fine now. Also Z value change looks better. Its not changing big values like video above, but i still see some changes of a few mm...

Also when put WCS to zero, X and Y going to zero, but when put Z axis to zero, it copy's machine coord. zer...

Another question. I'm not sure to open a new topic or just ask things in this topic. How to make the toolmark bigger in the Graph screen when machine is cutting ? It's almost invisible. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gGpqtesTRH5wf1qd7 Where can i find the option to enable trail, shown in the following vi...

Thanks for all reply's!

Yes Joey, that's exactly the problem that's appearing. Looking forward to the update 5.02.

I will take a look for a better cncpc.

I just tested with my laptop, because i was afraid the processor i used in my cncpc is not reaching minimum specifications. The same flickering problem is appearing. Moving axis by mouse click in the controller is no problem, but when use jogkeys the flickering is there. Also when jogging with keybo...
