Need Help with Homing Issue
Hi, yes you can exchange the controller if there is a technical issue with it. However you need to send me an email plus your address because just from the forum I can't see your details.
Thanks heaps!
Paul,
Yes, I would like to exchange the controller.
Can you provide an email that I can forward you my personal details?

Flex,
I am having the same issue. Were you able to resolve the problem?
I too am interested in how this was resolved. I just bought a used k40 with a mini gerbil. if the y-axis homes first the x will home at whatever position it is in when the y touches the switch. as long as the x touches the home switch first then they will both move to the home switches/position correctly.
Normally when one axis does not home correctly, it's a switch issue (electronic switch voltage is too low because of a bad connection at the ribbon connectors in the opto coupler assembly at the head) or signal noise (mechanical switches). You can change the switch debouncing time $26 from 250mSec to 125 mSec or 300mSec to eliminate false readings from power supply spikes or you can hook up an external power supply (24VDC and 5VDC. Ensure they share a common ground with each other and the K40 stock power supply. Also check if they are not transformerless since that can cause an issue as well with non-isolated mains power return paths).
