Has anyone integrated a LO Z axis table with a smoothie setup.
I have been researching this but hit a “brick wall”
I assumed that I connect:
- The stepper to M3
- The limit switches to Zmin and Zmax
- An UP button to …???
…
The smoothie /switch page suggests using 1.7
I cannot find 1.7 anywhere?
http://smoothieware.org/lpc1769-pin-usage
“switch.zplus10.enable true
switch.zplus10.input_pin 1.7
switch.zplus10.output_on_command G91G0Z10G90 # G90 and G91 switch to relative positioning then back to absolute.”
…
4. How to add a down button?
…
If I use input buttons and the SWITCH config options, how does the smoothie know enough to process an input button, check z limits and move the stepper. Is all this in the firmware?
I am still a gcode idiot but it looks to me in the above switch module when the button is pushed it moves the Z azis 10 increments? Does it know a limit is reached?
If I am using the GLCD, do I even need up and down button or do I just use the Z-jog function on the panel? If I do will it check limits if zmin and Zmax are connected?
