What would be very useful is a way to "train" the system by manually moving the machine to its limits then clicking a button. *Very* useful for a machine with a non-quadrilateral maximum movement envelope where you want to be able to use the maximum size quadrilateral space within the area the machine can mechanically reach. Push it to one corner *click*, there's Home corner. Push it along the X axis, *click* there's the X-max - with the edge aligned with the Home corner. Push it back to the Home corner then along the Y axis, *click* there's the Y-max. The corner opposite the origin is calculated automatically - but you must ensure the machine can physically reach it. Once the limits are trained, change Home to the center, a different corner, center of one edge, or anywhere you manually push or jog it to then set Home, but it doesn't forget where you set the edges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
