Hi guys greetings from Spain, because I am so far away and I like Avid machines so much I made an exact copy of the Avid Pro 4896, it is already finished but I have a problem when doing homing everything works ok, but in the Y and YA axes one of the sides stops with the sensor the other side does not, and it makes the gantry force itself, I know it is a configuration issue but I am new to these issues and I do not dare much, if you could help me I would appreciate it with a screenshot etc. I have Mach 4 and EESS, thanks from Spain.

You’re going to have a bit of a hard time with getting support on a cloned machine.. Are you running our control box or is this a totally homegrown solution?

If the latter you might want to check out the MachSupport forums.

Thanks Eric, it’s my homemade electronics, but it has practically the same components. I’m waiting for them to admit me to the bull to ask too.
