Help with CNC 3018 from Banggood

[JeanB]

Good afternoon,

I need help in trying to run my 3018 CNC purchase on Banggood.

I installed 5 micro switches (2 X, 2 Y and 1 Z) to act as end stops and used for homing.

The homing cycle works fine. I home and zero my machine in the lower left corner of the table, however, when I want to carve, using Easel, it gives me a hard limit alarm as soon as I try to turn on the spindle.

After hours of reading, I changed all my limit switch wiring to shielded wires……..Nothing still same issues.

After homing,
• my machine positions are X = -284, Y = -2, Z = -2
• my work position is X = 0, Y = 0, Z= 0

If, after homing, I remove the limit switches using $21=0 and try to start a carve, my spindle will start but then, my table moves (Y axis) moves a few mm into the back frame (I have a 2 mm homing pull-off). It should move towards the front?????

Please help, thank you.
