Hi forum,
i want to pass this by people for a sanity check.
Looking to install homing switches on my Sherline CNC mill 3AX- with Gecko 540 drives / under mach 3.
from reading i can utilise switches on inputs 1-4 and ground to 12 - seems straight forward, however for the uninitiated I seeks some clarification/s:
1. With 4 inputsI assume 3 x homes (XYZ) and a tool auto z is possible?
2. I assume there is a voltage from inputs 1-4 (if so what is the voltage ?)
3. The switch circuit for homing is base on a open until closed or closed until open?
4. Recommendation -- Auto tool Z: is is best to set a location XY where on tool change the mill can move to to Auto Z (any one done this on sherline?) or have a mobile version (is placed to auto Z ) looking for input here?
regards
