Forgot to follow up on my last post. Yup, works perfectly fine commenting out the line in the home file which turns the limit switches back on. Now my soft limits are back working as they were before the upgrade. So I can set my machine Z zero out in front of the chuck, yet use soft limits to get th...

Quick pic of my new beefed up encoder mount. The first 3D printed one was fine, but wanted to cover the hole in which the old optical switches were mounted. Also figured beefing up the rest would reduce any flex. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Originally planned to mill one, but the design got...

I understand. Can you shorten up the "bolt" that trips the switch any? Did you look at your input choices in the Wizard? I have to use the homeall due to limited inputs (dual homing, turret, drive fault and such). With the last version, homeall worked as I could set my soft limit in front...

Not a issue, but my home switch is several inches in front of my chuck. So if the home is a limit, then i can never get close to the chuck to do work. I understand. Can you shorten up the "bolt" that trips the switch any? Did you look at your input choices in the Wizard? I have to use the...

Not a issue, but my home switch is several inches in front of my chuck. So if the home is a limit, then i can never get close to the chuck to do work.

I'll be placing a new report file here soon. Mario has my turret all working perfectly with all the tests we ran today and with the newest release of CNC12. So I'm going to put the code through even more tests before posting this time. But it looks really good so far. Not really an issue, as I home ...

Quick question. With the new CNC12, using the homeall and series homing switches, they now act as limit switches too. Problem is with my Emco PC turn 55, the homing switch is way out in front of the chuck. Wasn't going to be a problem (in the last version) as my soft limits covered the limits, and f...

Looks great. Hmm, I never got a notification on this post. Anyway thanks. I'm back on track now. Thanks to Mario, everything seems to be working on the turret PLC code and it's working on the latest release of CNC12. Plus I've got my pendant going with several macros now too. So this should be swee...

Well, since I'm waiting on the bugs for the turret PLC to be worked out, decided to take care of a few other things. I really like the Automation Tech (LeadShine) closed loop steppers, but if you ever fault them, it's a total system reboot for me. So I decided a relay for the 48V power supplies was ...

Curious if you have a switch to set tool 1 that can be used in your cnct.hom file? Or do you set home via a coordinate?
