I made that mistake too.  What you want to do is set the HOME_SEQUENCE=0
but don't set the other parameters like HOME_SEARCH_VEL or HOME_LATCH_VEL.
When every axis has a valid HOME_SEQUENCE the home button will become
"home all" and the axes with no homing defined will simply reset to
their defaults (I think that's HOME_OFFSET, not HOME)

I don't think you can force an axis to be homed.  If you 'setp' the 'homed'
pin it's read-only.

I _think_ you just need to set the home search velocity to zero.

[Emc-users] Not homing A axis

2011-10-12 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
I am setting up a gantry system with 4 axis.  I have X,Y and Z set to home,
but my A doesn't have a home switch, so I set the home sequence to -1.

The issue (minor issue) is that I can't switch from joint mode to world mode
unless all axis are homed.  I have to manually go to through the menus and
select Home A.  

Is there any .INI file setting that would automatically mark the axis as
homed?
