I just got my cnc running today DDCS 3.1 with 3.2 firmware, i am having trouble finding how to set the cutting area and understanding the homing control and soft limits.
Is there a how to video?
Thank you

Happy to help you but I think you will find the manual pretty clear. Do you have the manual?Author: cnc_Al Time: 2020-4-10 20:25
Hi Dean yes i do. I have very limited knowledge and it is not clear to me so your help appreciated. I made the machine but need to learn to use it.
i have the user guide stand alone ddcs v3.1
I notice i can set sero (2nd page press y x 2 time) this goes to zero, but this is not the same as home. I do not understand how to set home position.
I do not understand how to set the cutting area.
If you can point me to the page in the manual because i just do not see it.
thank you.Author: cnc_Al Time: 2020-4-11 00:49
Hi all, i was trying everything in G54, i didn't know to go to the machine tab to zero everything, then back to g54. So now i can understand where my router is on the table as it moves!
Next stop a trial Author: Dean Time: 2020-4-11 01:26
Good to hear Al. Let me know if you have any more questions.Author: cnc_Al Time: 2020-4-11 17:51 Last edited by cnc_Al In 2020-4-11 20:44 Editor
Hi Dean, i am having a few gremlins with the setup
Am i right with this.
My lead screw moves 5mm per revolution.
My steppers require 200 pulses per revolution.
so for 1mm movement we have 200/5 = 40
further i am confused with z axis
for machine cords do i set the limits with z touching the bed or with z in highest position.
thank you
