    Question Help with setting home on FC 3.0 and Sherline 5410

    Help a old caveman out here guys. I am all mental thumbs in trying to get my machine set up. i have a Sherline 5410 with steppers and F/C 3.0.19. I keep trying to set up the homing function and apparently do not understand what data is needed in the homing setup fields. the instructions are very brief with no example that my knuckle dragging brain can use. Any help would be appreciated including sending me a screen print of a working setup.

    thanks in advance

    flash cut should have a set up file all ready for the sherline mill with limit switches
    but here is a couple of screen shots.

    my set up does not have liit switches but perhaps these settings would work. let me try and see. thanks for the input.

    if you dont have limit switches on your mill leave your input lines alone. move the machine to your imaginary home and zero machine display. you will not have a homing ability without limit switches
