If you only have a single channel on the encoder then you need to set "counter-mode" to 1 for the encoder counter. Otherwise the encoder just counts up 1, down 1, up one, down 1 as there is no B phase. > I tried to get it to home in the positive direction and that works to a > point, but it wants to make that home location zero instead of the max axis > travel such as 18.0 and as a result if the home position is set as 18 it will > just blindly run away looking for that in the positive direction to > overtravel. Yes, that is what you will end up with. Just set the axis limits as 0 to -18 and it will all work fine. You won't be machining in the G53 coordinate system anyway, so you will never notice. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
