Virtual Setup - Runs past top

When running virtual set-up on a simple six circle cut, the software drives the router assembly past the highest allowable point and I must use E-Stop to abort the program. The file runs fine, if I just detect the touch plate and bypass virtual set-up. I bought the shark CNC in 2016 and have confirm...

Re: Beach Scene in Cherry

Nicely done. Creating the model must have been rewarding in itself. How many models have you created?

Re: Touch Plate Quit working

Russ from NextWave got back to me and said the cable wire might have broke a connection. He suggested using a volt/ohm meter to see if it had continuity, which it did not. Upon closer inspection I did see where the wire had a break in it. I spliced it back together and it is working again. :)
