Help with z axis height sensor

[alistair1537]

Hi - I recently bought a 6040 from China. The Z axis tool height sensor reads on the Y axis as a limit switch - could this be a jumper configuration or a software problem or is it a hardware fault? The board I have is JP-3163B v3.9. Software is a CNC USB....a clone of Planet CNC software?


any ideas?

Hi,

Did you figure out how to fix this? I have the same problem on the machine that used to be my father's.

YES! - it was a software setting in the program - I downloaded a new version from er, somewhere...Version SW: 2.10.1208.601 - then under settings find the Limit tab - the top item is Single Input - check this option - click ok and your Z should indicate when you touch the tool height probe to it's base.

Thanks, I'll try to get the right version.

What version do you have? And, does it have the Single input option?

Sorry missed the notification.

I have the same version as you.
I was playing with the settings and now instead of the Y Axis turns magenta the A Axis is.

No idea what I did, still not able to set it to the X Axis
