I'm driving the steppers with the stepgens on the 7i76e, but when the axis hits the mechanical switch, it sets the DRO to zero against that, moves to the prox pulse then goes back to the original startup position then sets zero back to there... I just don't see a correlation to how it's working and it being of any good use to anybody in the same situation.
I turned off home_use_index and used an and2 gate instead, but that's not robust enough for my liking. Way more repeatable, but susceptible to not so good behavior in some cases. Is there a hal command to reset home position? If so, I'll write my own subroutines to make it do what I want. Phil T.
