Can someone please look at my report? I have my XandY switches set to limit/home. However when I move the gantry and activate the switch, it wont let me move the other axis without over riding the switch. And machine will not home when my homing switches are set. And for some reason my Y home switch ...

Adding the Dwell pause turned out to be pretty easy. You simply edit the Post with one line of code:
Original: writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(1), x, y, z, f);
Added: writeBlock("G4 P1");

This adds the G4 P1 after each line of movement code. I will have to change (P) value if need be, but for now ...

Yes, the modification would be in the Centroid post processor. But, that is not Centroid's post processor, that is Fusion's Centroid post processor. Centroid did not write that processor, and Centroid doesn't provide support for that processor. That is an Autodesk creation supported by them ...

yes, you can edit the fusion post, i don't' use fusion, swissi is the fusion expert here and im sure there are lots of other resources online telling you how to edit a fusion PP. :D

we just took the time to double check homelimit inputs on an acornsix and i can confirm that the switch input acts ...

also what kind of switches do you have? do they OPEN or CLOSE the input when triggered?

Will do. I just got the home to set.

My switches OPEN when triggered.

Yes I did. Someone mentioned that early on as well. However, I have not received any error messages yet. So I guess I will tackle that when/if it starts to pop up. (??)

Pics of my controller so far. I have all 8 steppers (6 drives) connected. i repurposed the PC case the old controller used and I was not prepared for the size of the AcornSix board (i see why now) so things got tight. I have 4 drives mounted to the back panel of the case so when I remove 2 screws I ...
