Hello, I used the CNC router this AM and it went very well. When I was shutting it down, etc., I raised the Z axis, apparently to its “limit”. It would then not move. I tried reset, turning off/on software/hardware, but I was unable to get it to move to home or anywhere. I suspect there is a button somewhere to push to resolve this issue, but I couldn’t find it. Thanks, Joe Hauptman
There should be a way to overcome this:
This forum is talking exactly about this problem.

You have two options and both on Settings page.
-
OverRide Limits, this will allow you to press the Reset and jog off the limit but will need pressed every time you hit a limit.
-
Auto Limit OverRide, this stays set and will allow you to just press the reset and jog off a limit right away without having to go to the settings page.
You should also look into setting the softlimits up, it will 99.99% of the time stop you actually hitting the physical limits.

So it seems that we should probably figure out a spot for soft limits so we don’t have to override just to move the z axis away from the limit switch.
@RealCarlRaymond and I were trying to get to the bottom of this on Saturday. My guess is that we missed this setting:
I think we should consider adding DeepFreeze to that computer as well to keep it in a consistent state and keep settings from getting inadvertently changed.
