Testing
Test 4 - Homing Cycle
Hit the Home icon in the Candle Control icons. The router will first move the Z axis to the top until it hits the limit switch, then it will
move the spindle to the Front right of the bed. Each time it hits a limit switch it will back off slightly to disengage the switch. At the
end the router status will be set to Idle.
Test 5 - Spindle Motor
In the Spindle section of Candle set the Spindle Speed to 1000 and hit the Spindle on/off icon to the right. The spindle should start
to rotate and the LED on the spindle motor indicating Forward motion should light. Click the Spindle on/off icon again to stop it.
Test 6 - Emergency Stop Button
Start the Spindle motor as above, then hit the Emergency stop button. The spindle should stop. The motherboard will now be totally
unresponsive to any commands from Candle until the Emergency stop button is released by turning the button in the direction of the
arrows until it pops back out. Release the button and Candle should now show an Alarm state, effectively the router has just been
turned on.
Test 7 - Z-Probe
Before the Z Probe can be tested it first needs measuring and setting up for the exact thickness
of the Probe base.
When used the router will lower the bit until it makes an electrical contact with the top of the base, then
it will set the Z axis origin to the bottom of the base using the value provided for the thickness of the base.
Then raise the bit by 2mm so the Z-Probe base can be easily removed.
Setting up the Z-Probe
Measure the thickness of the Z Probe base as accurately as you can, this can vary slightly due to manufacturing and assembly
tolerances. This thickness needs to be in mm and preferably accurate to .01mm.
