Dear all, I have four motors mapped out in Mach4 as follows:
Motor0 - *NOTHING*
Motor1 - Z Axis (Up + / Down -)
Motor2 - X Axis (Right + / Left -)
Motor3 - Y Axis (Forward + / Back -) (NOTE 1)
NOTE 1: I am letting PMDX 424 Slave feature control my two-motor gantry and they are plugged in to the 3A (master) and 3B (slave) jumpers respectively (with the 3B motor having reversed the phase manually).
NOTE 2: I have four proximity switches on the Y axis: Two in the front: Y- (Left) and Y-- (Right); and Two in the back: Y+ (Left) and Y++ (Right).
QUESTION: Is there a way to "map out" ALL FOUR proximity switches on the Y axis in EITHER Mach4 (which I couldn't find) or the SmartBOB controller? I would like to be able to use them for either/both Squaring the gantry / limit switches. So far, I only found a way to use EITHER the Y-, Y+ (Left set) OR the Y--, Y++ (Right set) combinations. Hope this makes sense!
Thank you!!!
P.S. To achieve this, I had to revert back to Motor0 (Z), Motor1 (X), Motor2 (Y master), Motor3 (Y slave) configuration (manually making Motor3 a slave to Motor2 in Mach4 and "loosing" the 3b Jumper).
