Solved: Jogging past axis limits..?

Nightowl

Thanks, @jay_s_uk. I think it's time I started doing stuff, rather than messing about!

Talking of homing... Because I can't really reach the back of the machine when it's homed, I temporarily REM'd out the lines relating to the Y axes in the homeall.g file. But, it still homed the Y axes.

Does the Home All button on the dashboard run the homeall.g file, or the individual home files?

@nightowl999 homeall but if a certain axis isn't there, it then calls the homing file for that axis, unless they're hidden

Well, I don't know who had that foresight, @jay_s_uk, but that would explain the magical event

I really appreciate the help, thank you.

That will leave a bruise if your don't sort this out!

Did you follow the basic comissioning procedure that it outlined in the docs?
https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Commissioning#h-7-check-endstops
Its really straight forward to to take it step by step

If you do it 'half-way' then it WILL come back to haunt you someday. DAMHIKT!

Yeah, I followed those instructions closely, but it's in changing things to suit my situation that made it difficult (in my mind, anyway), and trying to keep track of incremental changes is a bit challenging.

I believe this is sorted now, so apart from one or two other capabilities I want to integrate into the system (using an old Carbide3D touch probe, install a power fail/resurrect ability and install an externally switched feed hold (pause/resume) facility, I'm almost ready to cut stuff!

I am in the middle of comissioning a mill right now too. I understand what you are going through.

GOOD LUCK!

Would you post a picture or two of your mill?

Thanks.

Sure, @fcwilt, but I’ll do it tomorrow 🥱

Not sure if this is what you wanted, @fcwilt, but here you go:

The machine is a RatRig 1075 KillerBee, although I've made a few amendments to the supplied machine, including using 4x proximity sensors instead of limit switches, and redesigned the spoil board supports. It has a Duet 3 MB6HC control board (as you already know!) connected via a wired network to a Microsoft Surface Pro.

Most of my work is done on my iMac, which is in the house, so I connect to the Surface Pro and the Duet via a wired network using powerline adapters.

Apart from my own knowledge limits, everything seems to work well - but the proof will be when I eventually make something!

Thanks for the pictures.
