    Default Setting up 0,0 offset from laser crosshair

    I'm trying to set up my new to me router that the previous owner had installed a laser crosshair to use to easily set 0,0 home start position. My question is where in DeskCNC do I set this up?

    Thanks in advance

    Gary, how did this crosshair work? Does it trigger a switch, or simply shine a dot onto a position?

    If it is a switch per axis, they need to be wired into the card. See the attached .pdf file. You then set up the DeskCNC homing under the Machine Setup Configuration tabs. Tick Home using Lim in the DeskCNC Setup tab, and configure your parameters in the Home Script tab. See the typical settings in the attached txt file.

    You probably just jog the machine until the laser is where you want it, then zero the X and Y axis. I doubt that there's anything in DeskCNC for the crosshair.

    The original owner can't remember where it is but he said it is in there.
