Retrofitting Thor

OK. Ill redo them but any idea why this works (X and Z but not for Y)?

Yes, wrong wiring or Inputs are manual inverted, easy to figure out with ALT+I and a screwdriver to switch the sensors.

Cant be incorrect. I've tested each manually, they all trigger. Confirmed on ALT I screen too. X works, Z works, Y doesnt. IE, they all change state as expected but the machine wont stop on Y home, just keeps going.

Unless there is something in the report that shows an error / inconsistency?

I found something inconsistent in the report:

Homing file says M91/Y L1 (home in - direction) while the report says that Y homes in + direction to input 2.

Try changing that M91 to M92 and see what happens.

Thanks. I was manually editing the hom file as it was going in a different direction. If I select 'use custom home file', does it ignore wizard settings?

So I should just edit the .hom file manually and change it?

For clarity, the Y homes to the negative position on this machine.

Thanks

If you are planning to use the Wizard to generate the home file, then set it to home Y in the negative direction in the Wizard.

The field in the report file gives the setting in the CNC12 Setup -> Config -> Mach. -> Motor page. This is modified by the Wizard when selecting the direction to home. I do not know if telling the Wizard to use a custom home file causes the Wizard to no longer modify that field.

So, either set it in the Wizard or go to that config page and move that "2" from the Home + column to the Home - column.

Great, thank you and well spotted.

That's worked, many thanks.
