I am still in the process of setting up the Elite Foreman but I seem to be running in to homing issues. Either homing seems to take forever (or stalls) or is stuck on (something like) “wait for homing to finish” OR I get a flashing red light and one of my masso motors flashes red/green (Y rail on R…

Hey Pat, [image] PezWoodworks: from what I see, the sensors on the elite are in a fixed position and not adjustable. I will take a couple of pics and try to upload them that would be quite interesting as I have never seen them.

[E2A6AC7A-D002-4BF6-B588-CCBD04C8A5F0] [FEF78362-A022-4E54-BFE0-61B7205407FA] Here you go, my question really isn’t about squaring the machine but more why the pull off the sensor is different from Y to B, in my mind they should be the same, my machine is square but the homing sensor is making it…

As mentioned, what you see as an issue may not translate into one - I would check for square first ( @349iq2345 linked a few relevant resources). Also, I do not imagine a sensor would need to be moved much to make a difference, so loosening the/any mounting hardware may be all that is needed, if at …

The sensors could maybe moved .002 / .003 max, the are a pretty good fit on the bolt head you cannot see in the pics. Thanks, Pat

I think that is my point…when you say your machine is square, what are you basing that on? The difference you are seeing may be a manufacturing difference in where the IR sensor is mounted inside the molded cover.

I just went to look at the state change during homing as suggested and the B is in the high state and never goes low, Z X and Y are all low and go high momentarily then back low as described earlier. Wonder if it is a bad sensor or ?? Thanks, Pat

Can you manually (by blocking beam) trigger the B sensor to change at all - watching the state on the F1 screen?

Yes I just did that and it does go from High to Low and back, I had a spare sensor from 1F (long story) and I put it back on and they all indicate low until triggered now. Still have the same issue though now it has reversed, B has more gap then Y by .050. Pretty sure the new sensor is faulty or I …

Chris, I found the new sensor to be high in the F1 screen, I rigged the damaged sensor and installed it and it indicated Low and seems to be working properly now except I still have a difference in the gap between the sensor and the trigger but it has reversed, now the B sensor has more gap by .050…

Hey Pat,
