Re: [Emc-users] Stops on home - shared limits
Tried the restart. No change. Here's my ini for my x, y and z axis. Z axis works fine. Can't quite figure this out. Like I said I didn't change anything related to limits yesterday.

Re: [Emc-users] Stops on home - shared limits
Is it maybe the step scales are in the negative on x and y? Just noticed that but I'm pretty sure it worked fine like that. That's the only difference I see.

[Emc-users] Stops on home - shared limits
I had this working fine. Changed some stuff around today but nothing related to my limits. Now every time I home it searches, backs off and finds the limit but then it shuts down because I'm on a limit switch. Thoughts? Also have to switch back to acmxis from gmoccapy to invoke the limit override if it happens to be on it at startup. As long as I move it off before closing I'm OK but gmoccapy won't let me overuse if I'm on a limit from the get go. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
