Re: Unable to setup homing
You guys are absolutely amazing
I will look into your guys suggestions and advice here.
I do need the button for the X0Y0 though…
The CNC is working, just needs the limit switches working and yes I forgot to press F6 to disable the rotary axis since it’s not being used.

Centroid software is CNC12. There is a version for Centroid Acorn.
I called ACCS - Acorn CNC Control Software but moving forward I will call it CNC12 so I can speak the same language. Thanks for the video my friend and thanks for the great videos you do!

Re: Unable to setup homing
Howdy!
So It is time to update everyone that helped and unfortunately still have a few issues going on:
The good news!
The limit switches were fixed (had 2 bad switches) and I was able to home the CNC successfully! Yeah!!!!
Still having some issues after being able to Home the CNC:
Thanks for all the input and help guys!

Still having some issues after being able to Home the CNC:
- I am unable to Home the CNC with the A axis enabled (F6) - it homes the axis Z, Y and X still says that the machine needs to be homed. If I disable (F6) the A axis the CNC homes and is ready to go to work. What can I do to Home the CNC and still use the A axis?
- Homing X is running at 15ipm, is there a way to change that velocity?
- When I was able to use the rotary, if I issued a command in MDI like A120, it's accurate but super sloooooow, where can I change that jog speed? And what is a faster speed recommended?
Thanks for all the input and help guys!

Re: Unable to setup homing
Do you have the Pro version of the software?
The slow jog speed is your homing speed. I run homing at 500mm/min ~ 20ipm

I’m not able to understand why I can’t home the machine with the A axis enabled (F6), I do not have any limit switches on my rotary.

Re: Unable to setup homing
If you are using G0 when you move the A-axis using MDI then the speed is set with the fast jog setting in the Wizard. If you are moving the A-axis in MDI using G1, the then feedrate is set using the Fnnn word.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Unable to setup homing
Thanks for the help Tom but I was unable to find anything in the manual on chapter 11 with the Fnnn word. I even did a keyword search with no results.
