Hi there, much more knowledgeable people,
After finally getting some free time I am now at the stage of my build where I can do some wiring to the machine (gantry style router, CS Labs IPM, 3 axis, proximity switches mounted sideways on, Mach 3 etc). So I have just wired my first proximity home switch for the gantry and when I click home, off the gantry goes to the home sensor which is then activated and the gantry backs off. Problem is it then reverses direction and carries on towards a collision. Is this something to do with home and limits settings in mach 3 and the sideways / perpendicular mounted proximity sensor? I've tried experimenting with parameters but I'm not sure what i'm doing. Can anyone please advise why this is happening?
Thanks Chris
