Hi all, I just downloaded the latest EMC source from trunk to try to debug another problem. This version is requiring that the system be homed before any MDI commands can be entered, a g-code program can be run, etc.
Since my configuration is steppers, I was able to just force a couple of inputs (end of travel limits and door open interlock) and run offline. Now it will not let me run until it is homed, but of course the home won't work with the home input forced. Under the sim configurations there is something called simulated_home.hal. I added the necessary components and linked in this hal file, but the home function still does not work. There must be something else which must be modified. Is it really necessary to require that the system be homed, or is there a way to turn off this requirement? ISTM there are circumstances where it should be acceptable to run without homing (i.e. G92), as the end of travel limits should still stop execution if one miscalculates on the size of the program to be run. It is particularly necessary in a situation like this when trying to debug a specific configuration when not actually connected to the hardware.
