Hi Everyone,
I have just installed micro switches on all 3 axis, and enabled $21=1 all works well. I have done the same to $20 to allow homing....when i press the homing button the Z axis moves to the limit switch and stops, It does not move on to the X or Y axis?
Any help would be greatfully appreciated
I assume that this question is related to CNC so have moved the topic here. Much more details of your system and the problem are required
Ok, I am using an openbuild blackbox on my 1mt x 1mt CNC, I have wired 2 micro switches on each axis as per grbl with "NO" as the function. The only alterations to the grbl setting that I have made are, setting $21 to 1 and looking at the grbl info it says set $20 also to 1 other than these changes the setteings remain as they came out the box.
So, what happens is that the Z axis moves up hits the switch and then stops with the alarm on.
Again any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
What is the alarm?
Try increasing "homing pull off", $27.
Hi, and once again thanks for the advise. It did the trick however, perhaps you can help with another issue that I have.
I am now getting a warning coming up which says: error 15- jog target exceeds machine travel. Command ignored [ $J=G91G21Y10F1200]
I have attached below a copy of my machine settings, perhaps you would be kind enough to look through them and advise where I have gone wrong.
