Switched X and Y axis on BobsCNC router and now machine will not home #1205

Open 37kman opened 1 year ago

37kman commented 1 year ago

I've spent about 2 full days digging through this site and anywhere else to try and solve this issue. I'll be as brief as I can. My goal was to switch the axis on my BobsCNC so the Y axis moves along where the machine is open to allow tiling cuts. Using easel pro, I'm only able to tile when the Y axis exceeds cutting space. Bobs is set up the opposite thus my efforts to switch the axis on my machine. I switched the wiring in the arduino board so that when I bypass homing, I'm able to jog along the axis as I wanted them i.e. moving up and down the machine (towards the open ends) is the Y axis and left to right is the X axis. However, I now cannot get the machine to home. I believe, with my very limited knowledge, it is because I've switched the axis the machine is looking for the X axis limit switches while moving along what is now the Y axis. I'm looking for any help or advice as I think I'm starting to go crazy. I'll provide any additional info that may help get to an answer. Thank you in advance. P.s. I have a BobsCNC Quantum, and use a mac laptop for additional detail to my situation.
