Hi -
Unable to Home. ‘Limit Switch Hit’ error immediately when choose ‘move cutter’ > ‘click to begin homing’.
Downloaded and reinstalled Carbide software. Rebooted several times.
EC button was indeed engaged. Rotated it clockwise (per arrows on red button) to disengage. Error repeats.
Reengaged EC, rotated it again to disengage. Rebooting machine, and switched USB ports.
Continually set off the ‘Limit Switch Hit’ error.
Unable to manually move the spindle and motorized parts when the unit is powered on. I am able to move the spindle and motorized parts when the unit is powered off.
I wonder if this is similar to issues experienced with 3D printers wherein the limit switch itself is bad? I tried this on a Windows 8 64 bit machine and a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Same error in same pattern.
Here is code from the workstation:
