Thanks for the concise answer. I would agree that you don't want to limit the machine, as much as possible. None the less, I did have to compromise with the input pins. I think, I have a workable and logical setup as it is. Separate switches to home each axis individually and ganged max limit s

Dean, If I got a report about these problems in 2.2.2, I lost it. Can you let me know what problems you encountered? I do know of some homing problems in 2.2.1, but the ones I know about were fixed in 2.2.2. Jeff - This SF.n

I am using 2.2.2 What kind of bugs? Is it possible to edit the conf file manually? Can EMC handle sharing the home and min. limit switch on each axis individually? Of course, I would like to avoid rewiring. Thanks, Chris Dean Hedin wrote: Chris make sure you are up to version 2.2.2 There a

Chris make sure you are up to version 2.2.2 There are some bugs in the wizard regarding home/limit switch setup. You may find it easier to just rewire the switches. The "most simple" configuration is to put all the homes on one pin and all the limits on another pin. Have a pull up resistor on ea

I was just thinking that one possibility is I could not use the switches as 'home' switches. Just call them limits and manually home each axis. Chris Jeff Epler wrote: > stepconf only gives a tiny, tiny subset of all the configurations that > can be created through emc2's HAL. It sounds like yo

stepconf only gives a tiny, tiny subset of all the configurations that can be created through emc2's HAL. It sounds like your home switch configuration may be one that is not possible. You may be able to use custom.hal and/or inifile tweaks after stepconf has run to get the configuration you want

Good Evening, I am working through the setup of my router table using the Stepconf Wizard. I have a question about how to configure my home and limit switches in the wizard. My machine is already setup and running using Turbocnc. The way I already have my limits setup is: Each axis has it's own
