Did you read the text in pncconf about homing- it shows when you are on an axis
page and press the help key.
help text changes for most pages when you press the help key.
I thought it did a decent description of the basics - it's old text so I could
add more to it.

There _is_ only one home position. But it doesn't need to be at the origin or
switch trip point.
The problem seems to come from people thinking the contact with the homing
switch is where home is.
which is not surprising, as when you ask linuxcnc to home that's where it goes
first.
But it's

That's a very nice theory :D
If you look at the code of linuxcnc, or even at language texts you'll note,
that reality is different ;)

silverdragon/qtdragon (they are the same) is new (beta) available in gscreen

qtaxis -new (beta) available in qtvcp
QtTouchy, Qtlathe, - available in Qtvcp and are more in sample stage.
There are others in Qtvcp, but not work mentioning.

If HTML docs were included for offline, I would have Pncconf load them.
PDF docs suck.
Those diagrams you reference are included in pncconf help page too.

X home position in the diagram is referring to the final home position.
The measurements 4 and 10 are the trip pin to limit switches measurements,
which is an easy way to physically measure them.
The home position was just set at 6" arbitrarily.

There is a separate heading about homing
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-homing.html
I don't think pncconf docs should include anything about homing except a
reference to the homing configuration docs.
Data redundancy should be avoided at all costs. There must be only one

Hopefully the authors of those will chime in with the info on their work.

Hi,
I just tried to translate the help-pages of pncconf, when I realized, that I
don't understand the mill picture.
In my understanding, homing an axis means, that the axis moves until the home-
switch signals contact. No matter what or where the home-switch is - whether
it is shared limit

And I suspect that there might be more new UIs too?
Also, there are a lot more sample configs, such as Gmoccapy + kahe
wear or Gmoccpy + (my) lathe macros that might be worth mentioning
Greetings all;
Something has gone missing in generating pdf docs, and results in quite a
few of these:
Cannot convert 'common/images/emc2-intro.png' to pdf
Cannot convert 'hal/images/HAL_Configuration.png' to pdf
What, on Buster armhf, uptodate do I need tp squish these?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene
Looks good to me.

If we keep the French docs they should be only in the version where they
are up to date.
The Spanish docs can be dropped as only a few pages were translated.
