I think it is probably because you are using HOME_USE_INDEX (which will zero the encoder at the index pulse) and feeding the encoder feedback back into LinuxCNC. Now, this is perfectly normal, and with a servo / pid machine the system knows to ignore the f-error immediately after an encoder reset. What is puzzling me here is why it isn't working in this case. I think it is something to do with the fact that your system is set up for open-loop step position control but has encoder feedback. However I can't immediately see why this makes a difference. I imagine that if you press the home button again it will home Z seamlessly, and then f-error homing the next axis. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
