Hello! I am trying to jog my cnc using interface, it won't move to the right on x axis but will move to the left. Same with going up and down on y axis. Does a similar thing on z axis. I have limit switches setup and can trigger them using CONTROL. In CONTROL, I get full range of movement. Also something is weird with the Z on the interface. Sometimes I hit up on the Z and it'll go down. I never run into that issue while using CONTROL on my laptop. Any inputs? Will submit videos below from my phone. Thanks!
have you calibrated the Interfaces buttons? do all the anti EMI stuff in the documentation? EMI can afffect the touch sensitive buttons on the Interface.
How do you calibrate the interface button? If you mean calibrating esteps, yes I have done that. The movements are basically exact currently. Still having the movement issue in interface. I have no other wires running near/along the wire that goes from the interface into the the x32.
Getting this error from interface only after fully homing the cnc. Control doesn’t get this error. How do I resolve this?
Is your Interface Firmware up to date? (V1.57 at this time) CONTROL and Interface both use the same backend logic. The error states that a) you have soft limits enabled and b) something in your direction/homing setup isn't quite right. Travel distances, homing dir, axis dir, etc. We don't recommend using Soft Limits to people not yet familiar with multi coordinate systems, disable it for now. Easier option is to install min and max switches if you really wish to be safer. See 2nd half of docs:blackbox-x32:connect-xtension-limit [OpenBuilds Documentation] In essence Soft Limits needs multiple aspects of Homing to be set up 100% technically correct, you can get into that later... It takes a while to grasp machine coordinates. See Frequently Asked Questions The issues in your video relates to the values of Max travel in Grbl Settings, but you can also sidestep that until you have a better understanding of coordinate systems, by following the recommendation to turn off soft limits.
Per the video his buttons works fine. Soft limit calculation stops the move per max travel. Disabling soft limits eases learning curve, no need to immediately understand MCS
Ahh. Yeah, I had soft limits enabled. For some reason, CONTROL didn't let me save the profile if I didn't have it on when I was doing the setup initially after importing a profile. I disabled it through interface and the movement issues are all fixed.
