Testers.... This is in regard to the action and state of the onscreen RESET button. If memory serves me correctly, when an alarm or the ESTOP was triggered in earlier versions the VCP RESET button state was changed to RESET TRIPPED. This action does not occur with the current release v5.08. Checked...

Hey David,

I much prefer the K400r keyboard if you can get them. They have larger directional arrow keys. Keyboard jogging active with Alt-j, and hold the FN key while using the pg up/pg dn arrow keys should make them work.

Those drives should have a LED that will flash with fault code, so that would give you a visual of which one is faulting.

How much gap is there between the proxy and the bolt? You might need to close the gap a bit more. Also, try a flatter hex head bolt with a bit of a radius groeund on it. It might sense better.

G0 X0.0000

Feed rates are G01. If you want a rapid rate back to X0Z0, then you need to have G00 instead of G01. Your file is all feed rate commands of G01's.

If you followed Keith's instructions, the homing routine (cncm.hom) will have been created, and the homing command for the 4th axis will be in it. Then upon power up, when instructed to home the machine, it will automatically do it (if you have it set up correctly).
