    bridgeport eztrak dx read out

    All seems normal on start up, until I go to home the system, readouts go from zero to really big numbers (54136250000) always on the x and y sometimes on z.
    This all happens as soon as I start the home.
    The table will move to the end of its travel, sometimes I can jog it back other times when I try to jog it back it wont stop.
    I have tried to reboot doesn't seem to go through the reboot disc, it does respond to the ez trak system disc.

    Are these using scales or encoders? I would guess the scale/encoder is going bad, a bad breakout board, or possibly you have some huge amount of error compensation on. Is the BMDC board mounted securely?

    When it boots, before homing, press *, a box should open asking for a code. type in 11235 followed by enter twice. Machine parameters should come up. if a series 1, they should be 30 for X, 12 for Y, make offset 0 for both, backlash and pitch error should never be greater than .0035 inches. Start there.
