laser homes fine on startup but when i try to send my laser to a specific point on my work area I get a gcode error during alarm or jog state. Not sure what is going on. Is my laser trying to move the wrong direction and go through the limit switch?
You joined a year ago, so I am guessing the S30 was working. Am I correct?
If it was, you might have accidentally changed some parameters. Did you recently add an extension kit?
Did you ever make a backup copy of the machine parameters?
No Parameters unfortunately. It gets weirder because I am using my s30 gantry and frame but have removed the laser head and vaccum entirley. I am trying to make a cnc glue device. I have setup the frame and got the gantry attached. I can connect to the laser and home but will not allow me to move position of the laser. I am wondering if I am limited because of some of the wires for the laser and vaccum are not connected but I would assume I wouldn’t be able to home the laser if this were the case.
In doing this the orientation of the frame and gantry may have changed from the original. I have a feeling this may be part of the problem but I can’t seem to figure out a way to test and see if this the problem.
Interesting project. Too bad you did it to an S30.
Check the Console window for error messages. If it Homes, you should be able to Jog it around.
You did not say if you messed with the GRBL parameters. If you did, entering $rst=* will give you a factory reset.
Does your machine have the linear rail or the wheels for the Xaxis trolley?
