Has anyone setup encoder index homing recently with the Hostmot2 driver? I'm using a 7i43-2 board with a 7i33 and it cannot find the index pulse during the final phase of the homing process.
The search velocity is negative and the latch velocity is positive. I've read the manual, the man 9 hostmot2 file etc. Nothing is popping up as being incorrect. "HOME_USE_INDEX = YES" is present in the INI file. However the axis just keep moving slowly looking for the index pulse but it never sees it. The machine homes fine if "HOME_USE_INDEX = NO" is present in the INI file. It appears that the encoder index signal is present at the 7i33 board terminal.
