    Default Machine decided to home x in the opposite direction

    Left the machine not estopped overnight, not my normal practice. But I warmed it up in the morning and everythings been going well.

    Experimented with G88 and the machine hung above the part cycling but nothing going on besides that. Halting the program and restarting, trying to run a different one, etc. Nothing worked. The tool changer wouldn't sync up so I couldn't change tools verify tools etc.

    Hit estop to shut down and the entire machine went dark. Giving it a few minutes it booted back up but when I homed it started going in the wrong direction on X. Aborted that, its now powered down. Giving it a breather now while I post this. Opened the back door in case it was a heat issue but I don't feel anything abnormally hot.

    Maybe not all sorted, but its homing correctly again.

    Doing any sort of tap op royally screws the machine up though. G84 or G88 and the machine sticks at that line. Estop or halt and tool changing stops working (it will orient but not register it did that and get stuck) Reboot sorts it out.

    I'll post a thread with a good title for this issue.
