MemberThanks I will do!
Yeah, it’s been pretty gutting as I have so many projects I need to make and it just sits here hating me.. I reinforced the whole thing, made a table for it.. conduit-ed cables, connected ducted vacuum to it, vac/ clamp table…
Cheers againDecember 14, 2016 at 9:38 pm in reply to: 2nd TinyG and X limit switch input and SpON not working?! #10091MemberAhh, bugger. I’m guessing with custom firmware in the board it could be substituted but not via control software. So I’m guessing for now all I can do is switch the A min limit with the X just to be used as a safety limit instead of homing and just not home it… Could spend another $250+ AUD on a 3rd Tiny G..
Hmm makes me sad and I wouldn’t get it before Christmas I doubt. I’ll check the damage next time I head up to the workshop.
MitchDecember 14, 2016 at 7:11 am in reply to: 2nd TinyG and X limit switch input and SpON not working?! #10084MemberThe 3V relay would pass the 12V from the fan to another relay (12v) which passed 240V/10A (4PDT saddled relay. Worked well- when it worked… haha.
Ok so I don’t know exactly what all your terms mean but I am guessing it’s gone bang again. is there any possibility to use the 4th axis and its limits instead and somehow change the programming to make A axis the new X?
Cheers
MitchDecember 12, 2016 at 9:25 pm in reply to: 2nd TinyG and X limit switch input and SpON not working?! #10074MemberThanks again for your continued support firstly,
The relay was tiny and was a bitch to connect wires to as it was designed for a PCB, I understand that it may have been a voltage spike on switching so that is good to know for the future thanks! I tried a solid state but the only one I could use was a latching relay and had no way to unlatch it once it turned on… If you guys can recommend one I could find that would be great!
But back to the issue at hand, the other LEDs light up fine , just not the SpOn light. Also is there a way to get the X axis limit back up? any jumper soldering needed? I had a look at the schematic but my circuit reading skills are on the lower side. I couldn’t see a J13 on the board when I was checking it out on the weekend- where is this located?
The relay was connected with the coil attached to SpOn and ground- linking the 12V+ and – spliced into the fan output which was set to 12V.Hope that helps..!
Cheers guys

Thanks for trying to help.
MitchOctober 22, 2016 at 5:09 am in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9976MemberHey again,
Just got up here. Reset the board then just put in limit settings but no dice. Nothing causing the SpDir to light up at all and the M03 command doesn’t activate the SpOn light either. Think the 3V portion of the board is dead.
Should I just buy a new one? Don’t really have time to do anymore testing.
Cheers
MitchOctober 17, 2016 at 8:14 pm in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9966MemberThanks again for getting back to me.
The strange thing is those parameters were like that from the get go. As in I would put the numbers in and after reseting the board or changing something else it would change them slightly, it has worked fine while they were like that so that is not new to the system… I can wipe it but everything says it should be reading correctly doesn’t it? It’s just frustrating cause I get to go up there once a week (2 hours drive away) and I can try a few things but it might be month before I can use it again if this doesn’t work.
Cheers for the instructions

October 10, 2016 at 8:31 am in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9957MemberThanks for getting back to me 🙂 The machine had been working well finally up until this happening the other day. I will enter CP into the machine and send you a link this weekend Sydney time. I finally got motors running smoothly and limits and jerk pretty stable so was disappointing to have 2/3 limits stop working but this machine is my first and I have learnt a LOT through many problems setting everything up.
Camming software is where my headache is at and what I am playing with now but don’t really like the idea of playing with it without limits set incase something does go funny…
Cheers for the helpOctober 8, 2016 at 7:12 am in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9954MemberAnyone?
October 5, 2016 at 10:00 pm in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9952MemberI’m going up to my workshop this weekend (nearly 2 hours away) so any help would be great before I go please 🙂
October 3, 2016 at 7:15 am in reply to: X and Z limit contacts non responsive and no SP control #9942MemberSorry, I’m unsure what you mean in regards to the parameter ist etc.. Im just using chillipeppr and type in m03 in the gcode window and it used to turn on the spOn light and drive the spOn terminal high to 3v but now it does nothing. I mean I have my limits set to NO so if I close the contact between Xmin amd ground it should either act as a limit or flash the spdir error but now it doesnt do anything. It has all been working up until recently. I disconnected all cables info the left side of my V8 board and de powered overnight etc. Even flashed firmware to latest stable (.20) but no change.
Thanks for your quick response!
