John,
I am impressed with your last name. :)
Homing is trivial to set up. It will allow you to set soft limits.
Soft limits will give you peace of mind. Homing and soft limits do not
interfere with setting zero anywhere you need it on the table.
Once you get used to homing the machine you

Yes, if you have separate limit switches, it will only let you jog

Hello,
Could someone please clear up my confusion about how local variables are
treated in emc2. I understand that variables say #1 - #10 are local to
a sub routine so that to take an example from the wiki
(#1=xc #2=yc #3=xr #4=yr #5=subdiv #6=depth #7=rapid ht)

I don't have solutions for you other than to note that I have been able to
use Stepconf (ver 2.2.8) to set up my gantry style router (48"X24"X4") with
no problems. Using the test axis, I was able to troubleshoot a problematic
X axis (leadscrew alignments). I can not run my machine at 90 ipm cuts

Thank you, that is just exactly what I was looking for. Now off to the
searches.

Thankyou so much for sharing your trials and discovery. Such knowledge
will save a poor beginner like myself much precious sanity.

Just taking the limit switches on one axis, say X for arguments sake,
we have two switched wired in series, done this way so as to only use
3 inputs per machine.

My issue was that as I tried to tweak my settings to get each of the setting
correct so that each axis will move the
appropriate distances, about half the time the stepper would not move.. Yes
would not move... No the motor was no

Hello Gentlemen,
this is mainly to the EMC developers.
Since January I have tried to get my steppers run smoothly and evenly. I
wrote several mails to the list on this problem, but received little echo.
Now I seem to be near to the solution which might be of interest to the
developing team.
