Joints_Axis help

my soft limits are short of the hard limits, but when i jog to the end of my cut area, it pops a warning and shuts down. on the y though, right now for testing my soft limits and home are set same because i am still making adjustments, but when it goes online i give about 0.25" clearance between home and 0, but sometimes after homing i forget my orientation and jog y up. before, the machine would just stop, but now i get errors and it powers down

i am running 2.7.6 by way of package manager. i believe that should be master branch?

It _is_ the gantry sample.

You need gantry.ini and the files that it references.

No, 2.7.6 is not the master branch. You should be able to get master branch packages from the buildbot repository: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/

thank you one and all for the help!! all of your contributions got me on the right track and now i have 1.5m of badassitude that cuts perfectly square at the touch of a button!

all my issues are solved. no more errors on limits, z obeys max limits, and y tandem homes. it was a bit of a challenge to get the home all button to work because my z has no limit switches, (it only has 90mm travel and my workpiece is always 0, so i just manually probe home) but now it all runs smooth.

again thank you, especially andy for your patience
