Hi all;
For once I'm writing to say thanks to the developers for making the
homing sequence quite flexible. .
As I get older I tend to use the KISS principle more and more. I'm
chasing Gene down the path: just 3 years younger and still kicking.
Specifically, I use a cheap laser diode and move manually or jog to
preposition the X and Y to a specific place. I mounted a tab on the
right lower side of the table and adjust position so there is a small
penumbra around a hole in the tab. Kick off homing and it finds the
index and then proceeds to the predetermined offsets. Works a charm.
For Z I adjust manually to a given point and just kick it off. It
probably doesn't make much difference anyway since one always touches
off to the top of the work. Just have to make certain I have enough
distance between z max and work plane to back off. :-)
Dave
ps. the diode spot is about .125" so low power density.
