Hello,
Carve King build is done and I can connect to the machine. I can move the router manually in all axis'. I type in $H and it goes up in the Z and the limit switch doesn't stop it and the X&Y axis don't move. Do I need to manually set this? or is there a way to fix this? any help would be appreciated

I type in $H and it goes up in the Z and the limit switch doesn't stop it and the X&Y axis don't move. Do I need to manually set this? or is there a way to fix this? any help would be appreciated Do you possibly have the wires reversed on the switches? Not familiar with the switches on the CK but I'd assume they are the same as the PR, when viewing the switch the red wire is over the black and the other connector is empty under those... (red goes to NO not NC, black goes to COM)

Have you seen this video that shows you how to check the switches? youtu.be/61FNml8M3i0That will let us know what the board is seeing.

Yes I double checked the switches and they are wired correctly. I watched the video prior to posting and checked the forum for some other ideas. I ran $$ but it didn't show the output like the video showed. I am in the processes of loading a different version of Universal Gcode to see if that would help.

If it didn't show anything when you type $$ then it is not connected. The connection dropped out for some reason most likely.
What did you see when you did the verbose output?

What did you see when you turned on verbose output?

Sorry haven't had much time, but here is the verbose output. Please let me know what you think is going on.
Thanks

Was that verbose output without you pressing any switches? Your Y looks to be engaged the entire time. What I was specifically asking was what happens when you conduct the test of each switch as described in the video. Without knowing that, we can't do much diagnostics for you.
Also, the settings are wrong. It looks like you may have done some tuning of X and Y (maybe with the calculator), but the initial steps/mm should have been 200, not 40. Can you please reset setting $100 and $101 to 200?

Derek, would it be possible to give you a call for some trouble shooting on this problem?
Thanks, Mark

Derek, I started from the beginning, and reloaded all of the variables from the assembly instructions. I followed the video and I think I found the issue. With Verbose output showing, when I click on the Z homing switch, I am not getting the PN:Z. I check the X & Y and those two are showing the PN:X and PN:Y. I verified the connections on the Z homing switch and they are on there correctly. Do I have a bad switch? is there interference on the wires? or what do you think?
Thanks again for your help.
Mark

Make sure the wires have a good connection to the limit switch. Sometimes the wires can crack or break at the stak-on but still look connected with the wire insulation. Ohm out the wires and check the switch operation. If that is not a problem, check the wiring to the CNC Shield board.

I Ohm out the wiring, and it was good on both wires. I re-checked the plug in on the board and it is secure. any more ideas to check?
Thanks

Interference on the Z is possible.
What happens if you plug it into the port labelled SpEN? Looking back at your order, you have a laser. We would normally program it so the laser line (PWM) goes onto Z and the Z goes to SpEN, due to some internal matters on the board.
What port is yours plugged into?
