If the limit switches are shared, then the first axis must be moved off the limit switch before the 2nd axis can search for home, then again for the 3rd axis. Just setting the home position to a large enough non-zero value should accomplish that. > Long ago we found that motion stuttered during homing.

There is a bit of a glitch, at least on some encoder counter schemes, when the encoder count is suddenly set to zero by the index pulse. It is pretty small, as the driver masks most of the discontinuity. Missed you at the CNC Workshop!

Hi, get a alpha test version without layer/depth support here: http://www.harbaum.org/till/cnc/ I am not sure if i'll do much more on this version until i get my own mill ...

Its possible associate CNC info here. If you need a tester I am here. I have a working CNC machine (EMC2 driven of course) for real tests. *am* - Andrea Montefusco [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +393356992791 fax: +390623318709 - - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Currently the line width is directly mapped to the tool index and the depth isn't yet used at all. But i plan to make both somehow configurable, so you can make both match your needs. Perhaps a simple translation table will be fine in both cases. But i am not sure if i'll make this configurable inside xfig as i am not sure if i want to dig that deep into xaw (the gui lib xfig is using) programming. Perhaps it'll just be configurable by an external config file.

I have just switched to a debian/ubuntu package with my xfig tests and i'll soon prepare a package for you to test. A dapper package is fine, isn't it?
