if you have the contacts for it you should wire the limt and home switches N.C. > > So I guess I need to rewire and replace the BOB or dig into the code. > > The options I guess we would require would be: > > All Axis Neg limits (pin 13) > All Axis Pos limits (pin 15) > All Axis Home (pin 12) > I haven't used stepconfig but I think it just creates in xxx.ini file with parameters for stepper motors (probably more complete than that). That means you will have an "ini" file and maybe a hal file for your machine. There should be no reason to rewire or dig into code. You can use 'set', 'linksp' or 'linkps' to connect (or software rewire) your connections. The downside to modifying the files after using stepconfig is if you use stepconfig again you will lose the modifications. If you use 'home_sequence' in the "ini" file you can tell emc which axis to home first - the next and then next. That allows you to hook all the home switches in series to one input. > There may be another way to work around this with 5 inputs, but without > a few more cups of coffee I have yet to receive devine inspiration. > > Greg > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) > software.
