I'd assume that's because you're probably not recieving all the messages through protobuf. I'm not too familiar with Machinekit but I know from my current project that messages are relayed, but not as complete as a standard LinuxCNC install. It's probably because according to your hal file on github, your home_offset is equal to your max limit. HOME in your .ini file is the position your axis will move to after homing it sounds like this is what you are trying to achieve with home offset. HOME_OFFSET is not well explained in the docs and I almost feel that it is explained falsely. All of my machines I have this set at 0.25" to 0.5" or 6-12mm either positive or negative depending on the homing direction. In practice it seems that this is the distance from the home switch that becomes your MIN or MAX_LIMIT depending on the direction you're homing. If your home switch is in the middle of the axis and you home to it, your MIN/MAX_LIMIT is however far away from your home switch you set HOME_OFFSET to. You are homing to a limit switch, not a remotely mounted home switch so the offset from the limit switch to your MAX_LIMIT is going to be very small. If what you want to do is drop the axis off in a certain spot after homing then do what you need to do to get homing to complete, then jog to that spot on the axis and record it's current position. Enter that in the .ini as HOME. The Relative "0" that you use to coordinate with the workpiece will be set while you're touching off so if you're trying to set it up so zero is in the middle of the axis it's not really what you want to do in my experience. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
