This is what I want to do.
Do the Soft Switches have to be set each time the machine is powered up? By going to 0,0 and then moving to Y19 X16 and setting them, or is it held in a file. How does that work?
Do you want the Y19 X16 to be 0,0? Or just have the machine go there when you home it and have the home switch location be 0?
I do not want Y19 X16 to be 0,0. 0,0 is in the opposite corner. I want it to home at Y19 X16. I am only talking about Soft SW's.
Putting those values in the home offset box just makes those the values when you home.
When you say "just makes these values when you home" do you mean it moves to Home which is Y19 X16 when you Home? Or do you mean when ever you press Home it assigns Y19 X16 to the position where ever you are on the table?
If you have home switches at your 0,0, position, you just need to tell the machine to do a G0 X16 Y19 after homing. this can be added to the button to do it automatically. I think that's what you want. If you put your home switches at X16 Y19, then you would put those values in like you have shown it. Not sure how you actually want to go about it.
