    Problem With Homing X Axis

    I have a strange problem & hope someone can help. I have been using Mach2 for a while and everything was fine until I crashed the Z axis and replaced it. Now when I use the "Reference All" button the Y & Z axis seem to work OK but the X only moves a little and the DRO goes to 0.00 right away. The strange thing is that when I run a program my G28.1 commands work fine, all axis go in the minus direction, hit the switch and sets the DRO's to 0.00.

    What is going on with the "Reference All" button?? Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Marcos (elalto)

    Check the diagnostics page. Is the LED for the X home switch coming on? maybe your getting noise on the X home switch.
