So it finally works?
Good to hear!
But I am wondering about that home_offset. I had only home value, and
all the remaining commented out, but if it works for You as it is,
then lets leave it in a way that is working :)

Hi Viesturs

Thank you for the tip. It worked.

Before made by Stepconf for the a-axis:
...
MAX_LIMIT = .0
HOME_OFFSET = 0.0


I added to my inifile
...
MAX_LIMIT = .0
HOME_OFFSET = 0.0
HOME_SEQUENCE = 0  <--

Niels,

You can home all the joints with "Home all" buttons, even if there is
no homing switch for one of the joints.
I did that for the welding robot - the rotary head did not (AFAIK it
still does not) homing switch, but it homed together with all the
other joints, which had homing switches.

In the robot INI file for that joint without homing switch I had:
HOME = xxx
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1

All the remaining homing-related lines are commented out.

I will disagree with Andy on the advice to delete HOME-SEQUENCE line.
EMC Integrators' Manual, page 24:
If HOME_SEQUENCE is -1 or not specified then this joint will not be
homed by the HOME ALL sequence.

If You cannot make it work, send me the part of INI file, which
specifies all the joint parameters. I will take a look.

Thanks.

I had the right HOME_SEQUENCE value of -1 but wasn't aware of that it was
necessary to manually home the axis after a home-all.

Now can try making a button for homing the A-axis instead of traveling
menus :-)

Delete the HOME_SEQUENCE line from the A-axis definition in the INI
file. Or, alternatively, and possibly a bit clearer, set it to -1.

[Emc-users] XYZA home all?

2011-07-18 Thread Niels Jalling
Hi

I have a XYZA setuo with homeswitches on XYZ but not on A.

When trying to touch-off after a home-all I get a message saying "Can't
issue MDI command when not homed"

How do I home the A-axis ? Or which parameter needs to be changed in
inifiles?

/Niels
