I was using my Handibot yesterday (1.0 Kickstarter with upgraded base) and ran the x-y zeroing routine. It ran into the x-axis stop and kept driving after hitting the prox switch. I hit the red button and then moved it off the switch. I now get an error when I try to zero the x-y axes because the machine thinks its on a switch. The 3 input is also highlighted green.
I am guessing the x-axis prox switch was damaged. Any tips on troubleshooting to confirm this diagnosis and if so where can I order some replacement switches? I would like to have some spares. When I upgraded to the new base the y-axis switch was hanging lower and almost got ripped off. It was damaged but I was able to repair it and get it working again.
Brian, I tried sending you a PM on this, but it is not showing up in my sent messages so I am not sure if it went through.
I have a small job (~3x5 inch) that I am trying to complete this weekend. I am not sure if the machine will run a file with a switch triggered. I am going to try that next. If it will not is there a way to bypass the switch to get this one thing completed?
