Re: Quick Tip: IF you have Home/Limit Switches, here is an example and description on setting them up
Quick question on this subject....
I don't have a limit switch on Z yet, I have been just jogging Z to it's highest point and THEN I activate the homing sequence which in LinuxCNC would automatically set Z to Zero (0). Is that the same here for Acorn?
Cheers
Bruce

Thanks Garry
Plans are afoot to get a proxy onto the Z, I need to sort out proper dust collection first and that has to wait until I move into my new house and get my large shed built
