OK I moved 0.100 on the indicator the dro says 0.4172. I am using a digital indicator.

Is this reliable?

( does moving another 0.1" add another 0.4172 to the DRO reading )

If so the scale is off by more than a factor of 4

This may be because you have not considered that a quadrature encoder
will have 4X its PPR counts per turn (a 2048 PPR encoder will have 8192 counts per turn)

Thank you. I looked at the manual it said one 360 turn was 2048 I never noticed the word quadrant. I just set it by the 2048. Thank you for the help. I multiplied the number in the INI file and it is close now. I'll tune the servos now. Again that you for the help.

I am at the point I am getting ready to do the PID stuff. I needed to home the axis. When I home the machine and it hits the switch I get this

Z axis. Joint 2 following error.
Y Axis. Joint 1 following error.
X Axis. Joint 0 limit switch error.

How do I fix this?

Thank you.

Jeff

At a guess, you have a shared home/limit switch and the one on the X axis was triggered on homing. Then it comes out of homing while the switch is actiivated and it sees the switch as being on the limit. So add a HOME OFFSET to move the axis away from the home switch so it does not trigger the limit switch once homing is complete. I suspect the following errors will go away but one step at a time.

Thank you, I made progress. But I have an error of "exceeded negative soft limit on joint"

here is the section of the .ini file. I'm sure I have something wrong. I am just doing one axis at a time.

You have home set to 0.0 and min limit to 0.1

Try setting the min limit to -0.1

That worked. Now onto the Y axis this evening or tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

O.K. As I home the Y axis it goes in, then backs up then moves much slower towards the switch. Then I get joint 1 following error. I also noticed it errors out at almost the same spot. I ran it 3 times and here are the numbers I get.
Y-0.1890
Y-0.1835
Y-0.1831



Here is the Y section of the .ini file.
