Help needed with wall mount/QCW journeyman setup

[makermatt]

I recently received my Journeyman x50, QCW and Wall mount and have it assembled and made some first cuts with it. There are a couple of things that I am having a hard time figuring out.

First one is homing in the vertical position. More than half the time when I try to home it the X axis hits the bottom and tries to continue travelling, grinding the motor until I hit the soft E-stop. If I adjust it so it starts a few inches up and a few inches over from the machine home then I have better luck, but not perfect. Any advice on this? I have read about adjusting the current, but not wanting to do this until I get confirmation this is what is needed. Any specific posts or how-tos for this?

Second is the general orientation of the wall mount which is rotated 90 degrees and this is just hard for my head to remember that x goes up and not across, especially when using the joystick/controller. Can this be remapped?

How can I see the homing position to be in the bottom left rather than the bottom right? Do I need to rotate the x or y rails? Can I do all of this in the settings with the reverse direction checkbox or some other way?

I have a bunch of other questions but will start with these for now. Thanks in advance for any advice, tips or links to specific support posts.

1. adjust the current.
2. it’s not possible.

Hey makermatt,

Just asking, my brain almost always tries to use the right knob to jog. Is there a simple way to switch the function of the two knobs? (wireless joystick)

this would work with xboxdrv:

xboxdrv --axismap X2=X1,Y2=Y1,X1=X2,Y1=Y2

but it is not installed.

You can assign motor 0 to Y and motors 1 and 2 to X (with “reverse” selected). Then home would be on the lower left. But if you have a Journeyman, your machine would no longer be a 48"x32" machine, but a 32"x48". The postprocessor of your CAM software would need to be adapted to reflect the altered dimensions.
