I don´t think the probe is defect, Inputs are switching as they should.

Probably something in the autosquare is not right.

I don't know if this maybe related. After doing the auto square/homing with the probe plugged in (machine homed & squared), I tried using the MDI to move an axis and got the same 916 error, the probe was disconnected.

I'm also having an issue with the wireless MPG after running the auto square/homing routine. Using the MPG to move the Y axis, only the master moves the slave stays put, only after moving the Y axis using the VCP jog button will the MPG work moving both master & slave.

ive asked chris to jump in here and help you out with the AcornSix beta software.

Thank You

in prep, post info on how you have things wired etc..
post a link to a online photo album full of photos of the machine and control cabinet etc.. a picture is worth a thousand words, this way we can more effectively help you.

Here are the pics.
I changed from the Mill to the Router software, no difference.

These are the issues I'm having.
1: can't run Auto Square/ Home without Probe connected/ homes when connected. Get Error code 916.
2: can't move axis using MDI without probe connected, get Error code 916.
3: TT-4 will not complete test procedure, page 11, step 10 in the TT-4 manual.
4: Wireless MPG will only move Master & Slave motors (Y axis) together after using the jog button on the VCP, works fine for X & Z Axis.

I wired the control panel using the wiring diagrams that are posted here. The z-axis brake, air solenoid's for the spindle & E-Stop contactor are wired too the 2nd output relay board and run off a separate power supply. AcornSix has it's own power supply.

This appears to be a bug in the Beta software, been able to replicate it. It seems to effect any probe that is Open when tripped.

Currently working on a solution, may take some time.

Thank you for looking into this!
Does this bug also affect the issue with the MPG?
As far as the issue with the TT-4. I noticed that it was configured as mechanical, not for the MPG-4. I'll fix that and rerun the test. Sorry about that

Reconfigured TT-4, will not pass test described in the manual.

hello.
we fixed the probe related issue that we could find in v4.99 rev3.
if you are still having issues with rev3, lets arrange a TeamViewer session so we can take a look at your setup.
PM me so setup time etc..
