Homing the machine

[beebee]

At the moment finally got all limits working. All axes are moving and as a added
bonus they are moving in the correct direction.
Let me first say I did a searches. How do you command the software to home all axes.
Sorry for the stupid question.
Thanks to all that helped with my previous issues.

Go into the wizard and change from simple home to home to switches

post a fresh report.zip so we can see your settings.

Well more success. All axes homed. The X axis moved in the positive direction. Is that correct.
Thanks for the help

The X axis moved in the positive direction. Is that correct.

On a lathe or mill, maybe. On a router, not usually.

On the homing page, and once "Home to Switches" is enabled, select "M91-" or "M92+" to set proper direction for your machine and switch setup

Like Keith said, post a fresh report and or screen shots of your Wizard Homing page.
Sure would be of more help to us to help you....

You can home the machine however you like. Its up to you. Its a reference point for the control.
You can change that by making sure the home switch is in the proper position and changing it as Gary mentioned. The Homing screen in the Wizard is for setting that up.

Let us know if you are OK or you need further help.
