I posted a report above ealer tonight, Its not downloaded? Did you look through that one? Here is another one.

I had the homing set the same a Johns's “1st 2nd 3rd 4th Axis home ok” when I posted the last time. Get “home switch tripped!!! please clear before homing. Can not Zero DROs.

I did not use home all because of the issues I'm now having with home all as I said above.

I just changed it to Home all and as I said before when hitting cyle start the Z-axis moves in +Z, never stops I end up canceling to stop it. DROs don't come up.

I have my switches wired in series. If you remember I have all 5 switches from both machines wired into the same series going into Acorn.

Every time you make a configuration change in the Wizard, the report changes. You said you restored a Report from Sherline. That negated the report you uploaded. The Report contains all your machine parameters/configuration/logs.

I will load your "Sherline" report on my bench test machine as soon as I get in the shop.

First one thing I noticed. From your log files, on the 15th, about 17:25:10, the PC/MPU were gone. Is this when you unplugged everything from Acorn and was back to a basic bench test? Only Acorn plugged into the PC?

I loaded your LATEST report (assuming this is the one Sherline Provided you.
First, the machine is configured for 4 axis. Do you have a 4th axis? If yes. leave it alone. If no, go into the Wizard Axis Configuration and and under Axis 4 change from "A" to "N"

Second,
Your WIzard homing page clearly shows it is set to home to switches. So when you press cycle start, CNC12 will move each axis one at a time to seek the switch. For bench testing purposes change from "AUTOMATIC HOMING" to SIMPLE HOME:

Third on the subject of home switches. WHERE are your home switches and are you going to INDIVIDUALLY connect them to an input on Acorn or are you going to put them in series and connect them to ONE input and use HomeAll. Currently in the Wizard INPUT page, they are individual (likely setup that way from Sherline):
As always, make sure you WRITE THE SETTINGS in the Wizard when you are done making changes in the Wizard. Be sure to follow the message after, either do a power down of the Acorn and restart or exit CNC12 and restart just CNC12.

Your PC/MPU resends appear to be gone with nothing connected to Acorn.
I would switch to SIMPLE home, connect the Sherline drive box to the Acorn DB25 port only and do more testing, while monitoring your error logs.
F7 Utility, F9 Logs, F1 Errors to ensure they do not return.

Keep us posted on your progress.
Marty

Yes I do have a 4th axis but the motor is not connected right now. So makes sense to disable it for now.

The last report I sent is from my current setup. I took Sherline's settings and tweaked them.

I did connect everything back to the Acron

The one named (report_6433DB13932D-0811215041_2021-09-14_10-58-17 ) Is from the John at sherline. Sorry for the confusion, getting difficult to keep track of all this, as Ive changed things around so many times.

My switches are wired in series with only 2 wires going into terminal block then into Acorn.

I will proceed to make the changes you recommend and see where I'm at. thanks for the help.

Only post reports from YOUR machine as you go.
Taking the time to load a report and try and help you, that was not from your machine is counter productive.

We are volunteering our time here to help others. Most of us do not work for Centroid. Let's make the best use of that time.

Marty

Hey Marty, To clarify, the Sherline report I just mentioned and provided was from my machine. I downloaded it from email from John, loaded it into my controller, let it run for a while, ran a Gcode file, Then created the report.

I totally understand you guys are volunteering and really appreciate your time.

Great!
Then my previous comments based on that report hold.

So Ive got my steppers and limit switches mounted on the mill and lathe and working on setting soft limits and adjusting the limit switches. When setting up soft limits you travel the axis until you trip the limit switch. What I can't figure out is how to jog off the limit switch, since once it's tripped jog is no longer available. Only way I've been able get axis back up is to shut power off the driver box, use axis hand wheels to jog off the switch manually, then turn the driver box back on. What I'm I missing here?

Another thing is how do you clear the previous origins from your last session? It's screwing me up because I'm not starting at home location.

I've watched these vids

Always post a fresh report. That way we can see how you are trying to set things up.
Where on your machines are your limit switches at physically? How many inches of travel does each axis have?
Have you been following the ACORN installation manual step by step?
