The important parts are the [KINS] section and the homing sequence numbers for the joints here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/configs/sim/axis/gantry/gantry.ini Then you just need to connect the two joint.N.home-sw-in pins to the relevant parport pins in the HAL file. (I wouldn't suggest looking at the simulated-gantry-home HAL file, that is almost entirely related to _simulating_ home switches.) If the home switches end up not in exactly the right places then you can tweak the home-switch-offset in the INI until it homes exactly square. There is a bit more detail here: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/config/ini-homing.html#_home_sequence But, basically, wire up the home switches and make some very small tweaks to the INI. There isn't much to find as there isn't much to do. And I _think_ that Stepconf knows how to do it, so you could make a config from scratch that matches your machine for reference. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
