Super excited, just finished building my Shapeoko XXL. All setup yet when i followed the instructions and finished setting up the setting page, i pressed the initialized button, the Z axis (the new one) moved up with the router but never stoped until it hit the top, then vibrated then got the errors.
I tried to test the limit switch by placing a metal stick underneath and the red light lit up so it is working assume.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even made a whole enclosure for it so super excited to get started with it.
next … move up the Z (just turn the axis) and see if it lights up from the actual Z carriage…
(the turning needs to be with the machine off, or you can use jogging I suppose)
Is there a possibility you’ve got the Limit switches hooked up in the wrong order on the board? (Is the Z switch indeed hooked up to the Z pins on the board)
Power up machine
Connect to cutter
Go to settings
Look at active pins.
Hold your wrench under the Z prox. Switch and see what comes up
with the Z fully retracted, when it’s making that noise, shut the machine down and then power it up again, and go into settings to see if Z pins are active.
That’s the correct post, looks like it’s in the right spot. With the switch adjusted to the lowest position, it should complete the homing cycle without issue.
