X and Y axis reversed?

Message par sven »

Hi everyone,

today was my big day, I finished my RS-CNC32. Whoohoo!
I still need to learn a lot! Getting to know the menu, the machine, I even never cut a piece on a CNC before :lol:

Everything seems to work fine, exept for setting the home position. When I select 'setup' and 'home' it starts with the Z-axis. This one works as I expect: gently touch the endstop and move on. But the X an Y axis aren't going towards the endstops, they go the wrong direction. Zero should be front-left I assume. It seems to me my X and Y axis are reversed. Anybody knows how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Gilles,

thank you for saving me again! I missed that explanation. I switched the cables, very simple.
Next problem seems to be a limit switch. Probably need to redo the cable. Step by step I'm getting there 8-) .

Can't wait to do my first cut.

Hi sven,

Great! If you can't succeed in resolving this new issue by yourself, describe it please. Do you see the "A1.hard limit reached" message? When it occurs? At powering the RS-CNC32 up? Just after having performed a homing? What kind of endstops switches do you use? Those with or without a wheel?

See ya,
