I am using gSender on a SainSmart 4040 Pro. I noticed that the gSender doesn’t always stop at a fixed 0,0,0 location after the HOME operation. Is it a bug or an operator error ?
Hi Binhb,
Welcome to the playground. Funny you are the second sainsmart topic today. Lonnie came in with problems with his/her Sainsmart 40x40. The same machine you seem to have working on gsender.
Maybe drop by and see if you can help Lonnie out while you wait for someone with more knowledge about limit switches.
I am one of the last hobos not able to home, the rest is homing like kings and noble men, so if there was a bug in gsender that resulted in an even slightly variating home zero result, Word War 3 would start, right here. I’m still allive so we can rule out a bug in gsender that effects people with powerfull machines like Altmills.
Imknow next to nothing about the sainsmart line, but there are many topics involving machines from that brand, so browsing the search function of the forum might yield insights, even about your topic.
In the mean time, while waiting for someone with actual knowledge about your machine, you could tell a bit more about your setup and problem.
How much does the xy0 deviate. Is it cm, mm or even micrometer?
What version of gsender do you use.
What controller do you have
Has homing worked like clockwork before with gesender?
Has homing worked like clockwork using other sender software?
Have you tried slowing the machine down a bit, to see if the differences dissapear or get smaller.
Hope you soon get someone in here whit more knowledge about homing and switches.
Just your luck to get the one homeless guy, ey?
I’m not home. Off top of my head my very first cnc. GRBL . I had working with some glitches. Don’t have probe working think it’s bad. I’ve been in contact with mfg. Don’t know what controller it has. I gave up at 5am this morning too tired. It quit working when setting up screwed up some settings. I uninstalled gender reinstalled and was able to get running again. Not sure what I did. Ran out of time to test a glide file I have to test it got so far and seems like about an hour in it had a brain fart and forgot where it was and ran out to never never land.. I’ll work on next week at my girlfriends today. Talk again . Have a nice weekend!
