To me, the X sounds the same as the little snippet at 0:06 in the video, which I presume is the Y ? Is there homing speed setting anywhere ?

You need to use a multimeter or similar to work out why the X microswitch isn't working. Does it physically switch ? Can you see its status in the software anywhere and check that the software knows that the switch is open/closed ? I use the Planet-CNC software on my Boxford and that has an IO page, which shows the real time status of all the inputs and outputs.

Cheers Adrian,

Unfortunately my software version of VRmilling does not have the IO screen. i believe this was introduced in version 5 which is a a payable upgrade. Ive put a tested on the pips of the switches but i dont get anything from either of them anyway, and im not sure which are the home switch wires within the board.

would the planet-CNC software work as easy as installing it with this router?
