My machine is setup same as they probe_basic.ini in the sim. Homes z up, table right, table front.

It could be also that your axis motors are turning the wrong direction of things aren't making sense.

Then you might want to use the joint.0.amp-fault input pin as that would disable everything when triggered, but does not e-stop.

Hi, I have the same question, whats the difference between both cards?

quite new to mesa and llinuxcnc myself, few doubts retrofitting an older machine
all 3 axis + spindle are all AC servos that use resolvers for feedback, does this mean I can use 7i49? and can I use its 10v analog to control the motors respective drives?
moreover, I've seen it elsewhere paired with 6i24 fpga, but online ive seen variants of that with 16, 24 and 50 pins, how does this affect my usage? are these related to I/O pins?

For a safety mechanism; the output signal controls 3 relays (which controls the spindle motor & misc circuits), and the input signal is basically all of those relays wired together, so if any of them stops working, I want everything to stop and error out. Thanks for the tip about timedelay--I ended up using a combination of xor2 and ton comps to get the effect I wanted:

It depends on the machine. Most vmc's home table full front and right so tool changes occur with work/setups/rotary 4th axis etc clear of any ATC motion.

Home switches are located X right hand side, Y front, Z top.

Does not matter at all, it can be set in LinuxCNC however you have it and need it.

For Z for example, is this 0 at the top and homing at the top??

Yes, that is correct.

It is 6:23AM here, going out for a coffee, then a bit of sleep.

Got a THCAD2 from www.welectron.com in Germany a few days back, not installed yet as it was freezing lately.
Updates when i get to using it a bit, although i see no apparent reason for any difference from THCAD10 and THCAD300 i used before.

Ok, so it should be 0 to max travel correct? And that means homing switch is on the left, table moving to the right. Allows for cutting moving from 0 to max travel. Y is confusing for me as I could not work this one out and have correct orientation on the screen. Z, homing was recommended for the top, correct? So how is this configured normally. Does anyone have an example config? Standard xyz mill.
