Re: Homing 4th Axis
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. Your cncm.hom file doesn't have the home command for the 4th yet. Once you set the direction for the 4th, s...

Re: Homing 4th Axis
If the report at the top of the thread is after setting up for the 4th axis (A), then you didn't do these from Keith's post, in the wizard... - define the input that you have the rotary switch wired to as 4th axis Home Ok - go to the homing menu , select Automatic Homing, double check the homing dir...

Re: Homing 4th Axis
There should be a M91/A or M92/A before the M26/A. Post a current report since your last changes to set up the A prox.

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut
I like to just use G1 or G0, as it doesn't mess with my eyes, astigmatism, or dyslexia.
Your last two lines would then be....
M05
G0 Z0.0000
G0 X0.0000

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut
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.

Re: Homing 4th Axis
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).

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut
Reason, because the job file tells it to feed at 5ipm.
Solution, edit the file to use a higher feed rate.

Re: 24v input issue
Looks like the green LED on the power supply goes off too. Short to ground somewhere. Does it do the same when connecting to the other 24v in? What is on the other side where you have the mounting screws going through? A stand off body or a washer that is shorting something to ground on the back side?

Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
With the possibility of using this in the form of a pendant and perhaps taking it to another machine from time to time, is there possibly a way to "Refresh" or "Disconnect/Reconnect" it to CNC12? Currently, you need to restart CNC12. Just a thought, since I've started CNC12 a few...
