I'm a serious newbie so this might be really dumb, however, you're at +1.95 X in your current WCS but your machine coordinates are saying you're only at +1.292 X from your homed X. IE in order for your machine to actually go to X0, it would have to violate your X limits by about 0.7". Hence the...

Just got done with a bunch of cleanup in my VCP, router mill here, and got rid of a bunch of stuff I never use, plus reorganizing. Some specifics: Added dedicated buttons for setting 0 on X, Y, Z, XY, and XYZ. Added spindle warm-up button and macro Set Axis Paired button to nearly same color as back...

Honestly I find it low on the legibility scale, partially because of the low contrast in some places, and also because of the gradients that "fade" the button into the background. Also the "vacuum on" button is probably a finger width from the "play" button, which seems...

I see that now in the master Centroid Mill manual. Still pretty new at this and missed that some M-numbers are reserved even if there is no existing mfuncXX file to match it. Thanks for that info, and that explains my problems!

okay, well I fixed it though I'm not sure what broke it to begin with. I restored the files and a report from right before I messed with all of this and noticed that it still exhibited the error mentioned above. This should not be given that all of the settings were reset. But I noticed that because...

Yep, that's part of my next step. I changed buttons around, added a few new macros for homing individual axis, and mapped them. Nothing that directly touched the "homing" macro but obviously something did, tangentially. Unless somebody has a better idea, will back out to my last report and...

Not easily. Also then what? Feels like it would be good to learn what happened here so it doesn't happen again. IE I can't find the problem but would love to learn from someone who can!

Machine has been working well for over a year with no hardware changes and decided to do a bunch of work with a custom VCP configuration. All went well but then noticed my "reset home" function no longer works properly. It immediately complains that the X axis home is not set (see screen s...

Big help, ShawnM! Thank you!

The complexity of the existing macros made me think this was more complicated. Thanks, Gary
