If the indices are misaligned then you _might_ be able to work round it by offsetting the final home positions of the axes relative to each other. You would have to make the homes very close the the switch/index marks too. > What we need is to be able to home this axis in coordinated mode (where EMC > moves the two joints in unison as Y axis) using only one of the two encoders. Is it possible to wire such that the index of only one encoder goes to the encoder counters of both axes? -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
