I am new to Acorn. I am on main screen with Reset Tripped. Says home not set.
I just want to jog my axis in xyz right now. I do not have any home or limit switches hooked up yet.

Thank you,
Ray

It's the same process you used during the bench test. Make sure your e-stop is noton, press the reset button, and then use your jog keys.

Clear the Reset Tripped, and jog with VCP directional buttons or Alt-J and use crtl+arrow keys. Since you are not currently using any home or limits, set the Wizard to not use machine home or simple home.

WOW, did you read the manual?

It explains how to get the system ready to jog on page 30 and 31. It tells you how to clear the reset and then how to simple home the machine. Once you do that you can press any of those giant, yellow arrows on the VCP for the X, Y or Z axis.
