I just read in another thread about the accuracy (or lack thereof) of stall homing vs limit switches.
I haven’t even received my 4man yet so all I have is “book knowledge” of the machine so far but I know it has optical sensors for hard limits. What I didn’t know is that these are not used for homing (?).
Someone was referring to a Jay Bates method of one time homing and a machine file, and someone else mentioned adding limit switches for homing.
Is this correct? Are the optical sensors just to prevent collision? What I gathered from that discussion is that the stall homing is what makes X/Y probing necessary because 0,0 isn’t consistent.
I added limit switches to my laser to get homing working and man, what a whole new game that was. Unless i want to start the job elsewhere in the workspace, I can start it at the front left and that is always dead on 0,0.
