==Xy Proximity Fail==
Reported on 10/27/14
Resolved on 10/29/14
This was the initial report <br>
''" When setting the XY zero proximity (homing), a warning appears about "You are using different unit system (in/mm)..Do you want to change the setting?". If you click [quit], then it aborts the homing, if you click [OK], no other options or windows appear and the machine starts to find xy zero proximity or home. Once it hits home, the X coordinate goes haywire and registers -340 and starts to shoot off finding zero, obviously this must be aborted ASAP. Any control in the x direction is incorrect, in positive or negative."
Here is what I determined. The program Sbparts\xyzero.sbp calls the program Sbparts\custom\c90.sbc It loads the user variables stored in Sbparts\custom\my_variables.sbc.
Line 23 sets the units and was found to be set to 1. I reset it to 0
''21 This is the measurement system that you normally use. <br>
''22 it uses the same values as the ShopBot system variable...0 for inches, 1 for millimeters <br>
''23 &my_units=0''
Lines 45 &46 set the x & y offsets. These values are the amount the machine backs off the proximity switches to set 0,0. '''Note:''' I found these values to be -8193.53 as compared to the initial report of -340.
I reset these values to -0.5
''42 These values are used by the XYZero program <br>
''43 &my_hasProx=1 <br>
''44 &my_XYzeroSafeZ=1 <br>
''45 &my_XYzeroOffsetX=-0.5<br>
''46 &my_XYzeroOffsetY=-0.5
The file was saved, shopBot3 was restarted and seemed to be functioning as expected.
