>> You are try to save pressing the "Override Limits" button?
I don't even want an audible alert. I want it to pause and wait for the direction to change. Then it could indicate on the screen that for instance, ax X+ limit occurred, but then continue moving once the direction has changed. BTW - Thank you for the step conf wizard! Everyone I've talked to loves it! EMC2 is on the verge of becoming widely acceptable. I wish I had time to help you program.

I can't seem to find anything to that effect though. You are try to save pressing the "Override Limits" button? OR'ing all axis.N.neg-lim-sw-in and axis.N.pos-lim-sw-in to a parallel port pin connected to a sonalert might work for an audible alarm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sun, 2008-07-27 at 20:45 -0500, Emory Smith wrote: > Hate to be a "me-too-er" but I'll be watching this thread. > What I'd like would be to assert a pin om the parport for a Sonalert. > > On Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 8:05 PM, Len Shelton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use a small desktop CNC router and axis. > Limit switches would be helpful in jog mode if they didn't > pause EMC2 completely, but rather just stopped you from moving > in that one direction - with maybe an on-screen notification > that you had reached the maximum travel. > I would like to retain homing capabilities. > Anyone have any idea how to pull this off? > >Len ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
