The stg1 card can only detect the index pulse on two axes which are
selectable

If it was EXACTLY 0.1000" off, then it sounds like homing to the wrong
turn of the screw
Ah! I kick them loose one after the other so all are in the homing
process at once.

That's troubling. I think you still have a problem.
When you home, do you do the axes all at the same t
Hi,
again massive snip!
After some fiddling around as far as I can tell homing with limit
switch and index does work with a STG 1 card.
I can stick a .500 dowel in a .500 drill bushing every time.
I'm not at all certain that rehome works ( homing a second or more
time after bring up emc). I e

If you mean a HAL pin which allows you to continuously monitor the state
of the physical index input, I believe you are r

I was going to just pick on Ray but I think I will dump on the whole

In summary: this started out as inconsistencies in the homing of X

the lstg diagnostic/exerciser from stg gives interesting results.

Indeed, I do not see the index-enable go low but that might be how my

Will repeat the test and post to imagebin.

Hi Dave,
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong; so here goes.
The way index homing works is that after the homing switch actuation is
detected, the next index pulse sets the home position. If, by bad luck,
the edge of the index pulse is right at the switch edge, a little jitter
might
Hi all,
Finally found a 'roundtoit'.
As a quick test of homing repeatability I mounted a piece of 6061-
T6 in the vise, wrote a small program to
move from homing position to the workpiece and then drill a 1/2" hole
using a 0.500 carbide endmill.
Hole 1 was drilled repeatably after a shut d
