Which kit???

[John11668]

Need to understand a few other things too in UCCNC before I will be confident with it , but really only been using it over the weekend . I think I will prefer it to mach3.

One thing is when I change from Mach to UC (and Vice Versa) it "reinstalls the firmware for UC100 ?????

I set the pin numbers for the homing switches on each axis and now it will home , but I never really understand why I can jog through these switch positions . If I hit them in a program it will stop .

There is one helluva manual and It will take me some time to get to know the software . I will play for a day or two before I rehash the wiring.

Is there a reconfigure function in UCCNC I havent found it if there is .

I really don't understand this question - if you mean is there a profile system (so you can load different configurations) then absolutely - create/save profiles and load them from a modified icon which provides the machines name. Details in the manual - and I use this to run two different mills perfectly well (even with a cheeky M9998 to provide relay switching between the motor drives on the two mills).

If you mean can you configure pins/ports etc, I'm sure you're there already if you've got it working - hence my confusion. The only annoying thing for me is the constant Apply/Save mantra to not lose settings - but from memory Mach was a bit like that - at least on the motor tuning pages.

Sorry Doddy
Brain in neutral (It was late 0)
I should have said "regenerate "

Have you got "Enable Soft Limits" turned of (Configuration - General Settings) if so that may be why you can jog through the home positions?

You will also need to define the Soft Limits in the Axis Setup menu.

Just to report that changing the BoB to a PSU supply seems to have restored proper function so moving on:-
I have enabled soft limits and set what I thought were sensible ones but things dont seem quite intuitive particularly on Y axis but I think a new thread is callled for
