Hi all,
I feel like I'm oh-so-close to having my first CNC machine actually do something, but I am stuck and need some assistance...
I cannot figure out what I should be using (and what I have wrong) for my limit switch config. I have read the (somewhat limited it seems) documenatation on homing in the EMC docs but am still confused.
Basically, my machine has limit switches placed about 1/2" from the hard stops. They are wired in series and are normally closed switches. What I'd like to have happen is to have "home" .5" from the limit switch.
Not sure if I should choose "both limit" or "home+both limit" or what in the config... I assume that if I want the home to be .5 inside the switch limit, I just enter .5 in the "home" box in the stepconf setup. Is that correct? I have tried inverting the input, changing combinations, you name it. Kind of frustrated.. I keep getting errors of "joint 0 error- limit switch" or "can't unhome while joint0 moving" errors depending on the setup.
Any guidance would be *greatly* appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
