Soft limits will not allow A Axis movement in any positive direction #374

Closed CNCWoodworker closed 3 weeks ago

CNCWoodworker commented 1 month ago

Bon Jour Gauthier #fra589:

How are you? In my machine I need some verification that limits are not exceeded for machine safety, so I'm almost ready setting up my machine to work with soft limits as you recommended. As you mentioned, enabling hard limit verification while operating does affect performance. When I enable the soft limits, my A axis is only allowed to move in a negative direction. if the A starts at a negative value it does allow movement in a positive direction until it gets back to zero, but not past zero to positive; this behaviour seems correct for linear axis, but I think that for a rotary unlimited moving axis this is incorrect. Is there a setting I should use? or any recommendation?

Hi @CNCWoodworker,

Sorry for the late reply, I'm traveling very far from home. For your unlimited A rotational axis, you can use 0 (zero) as axis maximum travel, this will disable the soft limit for this axis. So, it will be unlimited as you need. See https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X/wiki/Grbl-Configuration#130-131-132-133-134-135--xyzabc-max-travel-mm-degree
