Subject: [Emc-users] Homing To Index Following Error
I gave Master a try using only 4 joints for my XYZW machine, and that did not
make any difference.
I still get a following error on the W (joint3) every first try. (unless the W
is parked against the limit switch at machine turn on.)
I don't understand why it always seems to work right for the Z axis, but never
for the W. When I scope the homing of the Z the plots look the same, except for
the obvious spike of following error on the W, and the time between when the
index-enable changes and the step in the position feedback. The Z shows they
happen together in halscope, and W seems to be separated by a couple of
base-thread cycles.
Is that the source of the problem? And what if anything can I do about it?

Pretty sure the mix of base thread and servo thread cycles is what causes
the problem, homimg to index requires a precise function ordering and I
dont think you can have the correct function ordering when you have the base
thread accesing hardware.
I suspect the easiset solution is to choose a fast enought host CPU that
is capable of running a 4 KHz or so servo thread
