Hello Fellow 1F’ers, Your assistance is needed in troubleshooting the homing/unhoming issue. I upgraded from Woodworker to Journeyman. I swapped the new Journeyman X-Rail and I am running into the following issues. These issues were observed during the manual WB Surfacing. I have searched the other…

Are you aware that you do not need to home your machine everyday? If you have your xy set, that is all that matters. You can come back the next day and resume where you left off without homing. As long as xy stays the same you do not need to home it. You can even change your xy without homing it.

Alden, Thank you for your response. I understand that if I don’t turn my machine off, I don’t have to home the machine. However, once I turn off the machine, it loses the home. With my prior Woodworker, I was used to homing the machine and then set the XY zero either the left corner or the middle, …

Kamran, What I often do when shutting down the controller is bring the router back to xy. Then shut down. When I fire it back up the next day the machine recognizes the startup position to be the new xy position. So no need to home. Each time you shutdown it remembers xy to be where you were when y…

I was excited to read your answer as this would have been the perfect solution if the the machine remembered previous XY. Then I tried testing out this solution. And again, maybe I am doing something wrong, I brought the machine back to XY zero position and shut down the machine, using the monitor. …

The Onefinity does not remember last known xyz after a reboot.

Maybe it doesn’t remember it as such, but it will, upon reboot, accept the last position as the new xy. I do this all the time. So where you leave the router when you shutdown, it will start your new session xy at that position. I don’t see why my machine would be any different than others.

Did you try running it from there?

This makes some sense but when a machine powers on and locks in on the motors there is a risk they spin slightly. This is likely repeatable enough for most of us but there is some risk.

I do hear the motors engage but haven’t noticed any deviation from its position. I doubt it would be enough to be concerned about or that it would exceed the tolerance of the machine.

I was able to set the same (or similar) XY upon reboot. After setting the XY to previously “parked” position, I jogged the machine and after hitting XY Zero, it returned to the XY Zero. However, the monitor still displayed “unhomed” and does not turn green. Now, my question is that since the “home”…
