k40 new dsp set up
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 5:51 pm
I just got the acw 608 installed in the k40, and cannot get it set up to home the way I think it should. Lets start with the way I think it should work.
I believe the correct button is in the Lasercad software itself and I think its called Datum. I think when I click I on datum the laser head, no mater where it is at, should move very slowly in a negative direction on both x and y axis until it hits the limit switches, at this time it starts in a positive direction until its off the limit switches and stops.
here is what happens when I hit datum...it moves roughly 20mm postive direction in both the x and y axis and stops.
How do I get the machine to home? and have it be in the same place each and every time?
