Sure, I'm doing git pulls and building master on a pi4, 6 to 10 times a
week. Then installing the debs built.
Well, it's working now with HOME_INDEX_NO_ENCODER_RESET = YES, so I'm a
happy little clam. If it didn't, I was about to start ripping into source
code and breaking stuff because I wanted it to work. You guys created a
monster. I like Linuxcnc so much, I started learning C and plan on moving
to C++

What kin
Trying to use the index functionality is adding a layer of complexity you
don't need. Just and the 2 switches together and run them into the home
input.

That might be worth a try.
Is it safe to load the build bot master repository on a pi?

The git *master* branch has an ini setting that may be relevant
for this use case:

That's the thing, though. The behavior is completely arbitrary based on
where the machine is powered up.
When I use the mechanical switches, it'll find them, back away and zero is
right there. Works perfect.
As soon as I add the index pulse, it just takes off and goes back to where
it came from
Sorry Andy, just saw your replies for some reason. I'll go look at my files
and let you know.
Besides what I'm trying to do with the home switches, everything else is
native output from pncconf.
Give me a few minutes and I'll go look. Gotta do the Easter thing in a

I agree with you.

But home should be referenced from the switch and reset with the proxy as
the index pulse. I don't see this as normal behavior. Homing against the
switch then moving to some arbitrary position defeats the purpose of having
a homing sequence. If you watch my video, "zero" is purely dependent on

Note that those are ancient docs.
What I'm seeing (and I'm not a linuxcnc expert) looks correct. After the
homing sequence it jumps to HOME. This is documented here (0.1.3.7)
