A Axis - how do I set machine home manually for this

Post by Andy T »

Hi Guys,

I have home switches on all axis except the A, so had this set not not to home in the .hom file. But like a plonker after I updated some settings in the wizard it must also have over written the .hom file so when I came to rehome the machine it started looking for a home switch on A (but there isn't one).

So now the A axis on the DRO is at 0.001 and I can't get rid of it and can't run the machine as it won't let me set the WCS until the A axis is at zero, which I can't manually set to zero as my encoder isn't able to increment at 0.001.

I'm sure there's a really simple way to sort this (I'm used to mach3 so acorn is all new to me).

Help :) .

Cheer
Andy

Ignore me, sorted, I set the movement for the A axis in the wizard to 0.001. :)
