Limited switch error right after i hit the run button, why?

1

hello all,

i am trying to run my first project using the Carbide Create software. everything always sets good.

i set the machine zero point and the machine looks to always be working right. i load the project and push run the machine start to move and when i hit the arrow (play button) to start i get the “limited switch error” every time.

i followed the manual steps people advised about centering the machine and all but nothing changes.

my frustration has gotten the best of me at this point. can anyone help me out or have a possible solution.

thanks for the help.
