    I can't make my machine "Reference All Axes (home)"! Am using Mach4 with ESS+ MB2 BOB

    Good day!


    I have trouble making my machine to "Reference All Axes (home)"

    I already spent a lot of time trying to resolve my Issue.

    I have included a pdf file which contain screenshots of the problem and my configuration for Mach4 and ESS!

    I am using Mach4 Demo Build 4162 and ESS plugin V246

    Attachment 426038

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    I don't know much but I'm questioning the offsets.
    For instance with Z home pos and an offset of 5 would that not attempt to move Z up past the switch?

    Something interesting in this video from 4:00 in about editing Mach script to 'home with offset'.
    Whether you already did this?

    Have not seen this video yet but I have read the documentation in warp9 website. The offset entry of 5 was the default value that is already in the offset fields.I will try to replace it with zero tommorow and I will give a feedback after. Tnx

    I have replaced the value from 5 to 0 for all the entries, but still same error pops up.

    Just Wondering what your Mach Machine Diagnostics tab shows when you start up does it show any LEDs on.
