So I am trying to figure out why, when it was configured for a 3 axis mill, all 3 axis's were set to HOME_SEQUENCE = 1, and it worked just peachy? Me, goes off pondering the fate of the universe. But this morning, on the 3 axis G0704, which I keep up to date daily in the 2.8.0--pre chain, now has a huge pain in the a** error popup that must be cleared before anything else can be done when doing a touch off of any axis. I must have had to clear it at least 50 times while adjusting some circular cuts to make the circuit board I need for the encoders terminal strip. That, and I am running out of patience with glues, these AT-667's are in trenches of the mounting bracket, which is made out of 7076-t6, cut dry, and the cut washed with acetone, but the superglues, with days of setup time, are not adequately holding the device. So the one that popped off this morning, now is sitting in a glop of g02/goop. Clamped tight as it sits a few thou proud to get a little closer to the bit of ferrous screw I glued to the side of the big gear keyed to the spindle. Its about 25 thou below the top of the tooth its hiding behind. But I moved the backgear about 30 thou to the right just so it will clear my little index pulse screw anyway. But I am beginning to see why these things are being held in place by a thin piece of copper sheet, wedging them in place in every picture posted except in Jon's Bridgeport. I am cognizant of the vibration that will be imparted to this encoder bracket as its only mounted by one 5mm screw, with the working part projecting above the lower spindle housing by about 1/5", by the magnets attraction to the tooth as it goes by. So despite the A/B units being stuck with superglue, I think I'll embed them in go2 also. I can imagine that the bracket will resonate at some frequencies, shaking them loose if there isn't a wee bit of flex in the glue. So I guess next is drill and tap for a couple 3mm screws to mount half of the 80 degree arc, half an inch wide, pcb I just cut out, swearing quietly at the error message, yelling about a missing % sign from every touch off I did. Did I mention that doing a touch off in the 2.8.0-pre is now a PITA? Yeah, please fix that. Thanks everybody.
