SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Re: Squaring the Gantry on the PMDX-424 without functionality

Add a new button on the screen and add the code I wrote as shown in the link below to the PLC, button, and Screen Load scripts.  Let me know if it works for you.

Here is my working solution.  I think the code could use some improvement but it works every time.  If anybody wants to tell me why  I need to call mc.mcCntlEnable 6 times I would appreciate it.

I created a separate profile for squaring where I assigned the gantry motors to different axes and then homed them at the same time. The issue I am running into is that when I close that profile and open my plasma cutter profile, the motors dont seem to remap back to being master/slave on the X unless I power off/on the pmdx424
