My x section from the ini file [AXIS_X] MIN_LIMIT = -5.050 MAX_LIMIT = 5.05 MAX_VELOCITY = 0.40 MAX_ACCELERATION = 5.00
[JOINT_0] TYPE = LINEAR MAX_VELOCITY = 0.40 MAX_ACCELERATION = 5.00 # Set Stepgen max 20% higher than the axis STEPGEN_MAX_VEL = 0.50 STEPGEN_MAX_ACC = 7.00 BACKLASH = 0.0002700 # scale is 200 steps/rev * 5 revs/inch SCALE = 25685.0000 MIN_LIMIT = -5.050 MAX_LIMIT = 5.05 FERROR = 0.0005 MIN_FERROR = 0.00025000 HOME = -0.00 HOME_IS_SHARED = -0 HOME_OFFSET = 0.00000000 HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0.40 HOME_LATCH_VEL = 0.05 HOME_FINAL_VEL = 0.10 # these are in nanoseconds, DM860's have glacial opto's, but this is a kl8060. DIRSETUP = 4500 DIRHOLD = 4500 STEPLEN = 2500 STEPSPACE = 2500 JOG_TIMEOUT = 3000.0 There are no setp's in the hal file that could effect the resting position of the x axis. The dro indicates after homeing, a RAD of -0.2100 and a DIAMETER of -0.4200. Touch-off to 0.00 leaves it unchanged at the above. The results of doing a touch off to other offsets in an attempt to hit a 0.000 do not make sense. The position.vars are all zeroed, so deleting it before restarting linuxcnc has no effect. So where do I get the dro's figures from? The memory limits at 1Gb seems to be mucking with it, running hal_config, and trying to use its command line to set the y-val-nn data fails 100% of the time and although focus remains on the hal-config window it takes no more mouse or keyboard input until its restarted. Stuff to check list please? I also have what appears to be a too far backoff for x home, it claims on the first home that the switch isn't made, so quits, clicking on home x again? Works perfectly. And the movements are almost identical. I'm all stove up from wrestling, in the bottom of a 4.5 foot deep ditch, with a broken water line. And I've miss-laid my headache pills... But I do have water again. Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
