Repeatedly get "X axis home not set" while trying to reset home <resolved>
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2021 9:53 pm
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 shot), and if I press cycle start, will finish homing Z, then complain as it tries to home X, and if I press cycle start, will finish homing X, and then do the same for the paired Y axis. Except at the end it does not actually set the machine coordinates to 0.
I have tried having the wizard recreate the homing file but that results in no change. I have re-confirmed the proper paired axis configuration.
I did notice, oddly, that if I try to move the "Pair Axis" button in the VCP it will re-create it in the default location even though the manual claims you can move it. Since I originally tried to remove it maybe this is related, though now its back and I still have my problem. Just mentioning this since it doesn't operate as explained and it seems *somewhat* related.
I can't figure out what the heck is going on, or why re-configuring the VCP would mess up my homing, particularly when I didn't touch which skin event the reset home button calls, or the macro that skin event is tied to.
Anybody have a similar experience? Wizard screenshots, error screenshot, and report file attached. HUGE thanks for any help.
