Paired axis / homing switch issues

Post by Insect »

The system is pretty much operational, but.
When I set up homing as "manually square gantry" it homes fine, but naturally does not fine-home the squareness each time.\

When I set it to 'automatic square gantry' it removes some of the controls to set the limit switches that govern this.
I attached a report and screenshots. When attempted, the auto-program shows an issue (screenshot).
My homing switches are set to be green, per directions.
Can you guide me?

Thanks,

Can you guys who find a solution please post links to these enlightening tutorials. Yes, I know they're all in that big list but since you found it directly, a direct link would be appreciated for us noobs.

Oh, and edit the title of the first post, adding "- resolved" to the end of it? Thanks!

Thank you, sir! I knew of one document from Centroid on the topic but not this one.
