    Deckcnc board and homing switches

    I'm having a tough time trying to get this board to work, the home switches do not work under any circumstances. The only way to home the axis was to use the limits. The one thing about that is once it’s on a limit the axis will only move .001 at a time, which means it, takes a long to come off the switch.

    Is anyone using the new board does that one work?

    The homing is set in the machine settings as there are several options. You can hone each axis independently or all at once. They should be NC switches for all at once.

    You can also use the lim switch for n/o switches, but they cannot all be homed at the same time.

    Limits should be N/C and wired through estp, not home.

    I did all that, the only way that worked was using the limit for home.
