    ref axis problem

    hello,

    When ever I start my machine I press the ref button for the x axis to send it home so i can see if the gantry is aligned ( I have two motors slaved on the x). When I started it up this morning the ref button doesn't work on any axis. Everything else works fine, anyone know why this is?

    Lightbulb Try this.

    Turn off soft limits and see if you can jog to the center somewhere.
    Then zero DRO's and try to reference, then turn soft limits back on.
    Make sure there is no dumb dialog box message hiding under the Mach3 window.
    You may need to reference 1 axis at a time from diagnostics screen.
