Re: Cannot connect machine

I should have added that the red led on the pcb initially starts with "L" then displays 5.....don't know if this is significant.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Re: Z+ Overtravel Trying To Home Z axis

The home switch is the first one. It should hit the switch, slow down, come off the switch & look for its next marker pulse from the spindle motor. You should be able to test the switch in the diagnostics. It should be on the first page below the X diagnostic. Thanks for the info - this made sense,...

Re: Toolpost - Six station Baruffaldi

Hi Moray,

Thanks for the tip - I have bypassed the low air signal - still doesn't work from toolpost selection & green button but it now is changing during program!!

I can live with this for now as I can MDI toolpost for setting.

Thanks again - much appreciated.
