This is all documented. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config_ini_homing.html If you want a specific axis to home at its current position, then set the HOME_SEARCH_VEL to zero. It will still need a HOME_SEQUENCE number if you want it to be homed as part of a "home all" process. You need to read all of 6 lines of the Homing docs to find this information. No offence meant, but you seem to be blaming EMC2 for your guess being wrong. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
