New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

[Desertboy]

No worries, now have upgraded to 2.8 and got 4 joints configured, Y is linked, X homes, one of the Y switches works, one doesn't. Have control of the machine can run code.

Got driven home by the cold spent a good 6 hours with the machine but no heating and in a large industrial unit it took it's toll on me lol.

Hopefully can work out how to configure my second homing switch have the .ini and .hal with me this time to post up on linuxcnc ;) so hopefully can work it out tonight I was getting close when I left.

This is how close X gets when homed now (I have it click the homing switch and travel another 50mm)

If you see the spacer at the top is slightly loose it's because the bolt's too long by 0.5mm need to strip the Z off and shave the bolt down to sort but need to order the bits I need to add grease nipples to the Hiwin's so I can do at same time. The actual spindle is still rock solid but obviously going to sort out.

And this is how close the Y gets when at maximum travel +(700mm) although I still have 5cm to play with on the other side of the bed I think 70cm travel sounds good. It's freaky watching it plough full speed towards the end to then stop so accurately and quickly so close to the end.

Now I've got homing working
