Test run issues

[VGCustomShop]

So the machine is now wired - stepper driver voltage set, squared, nothing is binding. Tried jogging and that is fine (see video). The homing cycle worked fine a couple times - then the bench was moved and a homing cycle test was stopped when the Z homing switch wire grounded out on my desk lamp. Now it stops at that spot everytime -even though it will jog anywhere fine.  Tried restarting - tried three different versions of UGS and checked the anti-backlash nuts, wheels being too tight etc. It has to be a glitch somewhere - suggestions? The video shows jogging - then at the end it's brought up to the front and the homing cycle is started it homes z fine - then heads back to home y and x and stops short.


the readout says Alarm 9

Hit $$ enter and tell me what values I have for 130, 131 and 132. Set 130 to 432 by typing $130=432 and enter in the command line. Also set 131 to 432. Set 132 to 95.

130-132 all read - 200.000

switched them per your instructions

Seems to be working perfectly now! Woo hoo!
