If the second Y does not move, how do you know the home switch is ignored? I think that the problem is that you have y2-step in the Joint3 section, but in the area where you are connecting the parallel port pins, both sets of step/dir outputs are netted to the ystep. So they move at exactly the same speed and at the same time. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
