That does seem spurious.
They all have it, but the problem is a missing closing quote.

Are both the switch and the PNP on at the same time?
Is the PNP "long" enough to serve as

It's probably best to home a rotary axis to a 180 degree target. With
search and backoff speeds set high, and a slow latch.
Then it

I'll take a look. Sounds like this might be very helpful. Thanks a bunch!

I think I solved that problem in Emcoturn 220 integration and went even
further. I added a protection of lost steps with the sensor. Here is my

Hi Jon
I have it feeding back slowly to latch the proximity switch, but it's
picking up from an encoder pulse that it found 6 inches away from the home
position unless I move the machine close to the switch, close Linuxcnc,
reload LinuxCNC and command a zero return from there.
I disconnected the

OK, without encoders, then you are limited by the servo
period. So, figure some way to tie
the sensor in with the mechanical
Hi Jon
No encoders. Besides the 7i76e and raspberry pi, the machine is using the
original steppers and electronics. Emco used a double switch home sequence
on this machine - mechanical "rough" home and proximity "fine" home. I got
this to work last night, but it's not working properly. It seems

Lucky the proxy is PNP
Wire the proxy in series with the switch
- the proxy will pull the line UP
- the proxy Only has power when the switch is closed
- so the home position is only valid if the switch is closed AND the proxy
is active AND the proxy is interrupted. Then the line will get pulled
Thanks for the reply.
here's my current setup:

Hello Hive mind,
Question for the group. I have an emco pc turn 55. I've successfully gotten
everything working 100% on LCNC with the exception of one thing, the x and
z axis utilize a mechanical limit switch to latch home position, but then
each axis has a pnp proximity sensor that triggers the
