I am building a cnc with the y & A axis slaved together.

I used port 1 pin 10 for the x-axis
I used port 1 pin 11 for the y-axis
I used port 1 pin 12 for the z-axis
I used port 1 pin 10 for the a-axis

I set the mach3 input signals for the same for the Y & A axis

Long story short is that I believe I have all the limit/home switches working and the touch plate connection working correctly, however ; when I attempt to home my machine it cycles to the z-axis I press the home switch and it zeroes correctly, then it goes to the Y/A axis and they zero correctly, then it goes to the x axis and it zeroes correctly then.......

the A-axis motor starts turning (by its self) and I have to press the y=axis limit switch to get it to stop. I have looked through the setting in Mach3 but nothing jumps out at me as to what the solution to this problem is.

Any help to this issue would be appreciated.

You probably need to edit the homing script to eliminate the A axis homing at the end.
Go to Operator menu, and click on Edit button script. Then click the Ref All button, and you should see this in the VB Script Editor:

DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )

DoOEMButton(133)
DoOEMButton(134)
DoOEMButton(135)


Delete the last 4 lines so you only have this:


DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )

The go to File > Save in the Script Editor. Then close it, then close and restart mach3.

I did what you suggested and the a-axis motor still turns at the end when I reference all

I just tried referencing all in your 2010 screen set and it works fine.

Anyway thanks for the help, I believe this mystery is solved enough for me.

Thanks
