Danny,
Sounds as though you are actually doing a touch off instead of homing.
These two often get confused. Homing should happen with switches that
are mounted on the machine in fixed positions. When you home the machine
it goes to these switches to determine the home position of the machine.
John,
I have been looking at your o subroutine. I plan on using it
on the plasma cutter I am building with a buddy. My question is what are
typical values that you are using for pierce height, pierce delay and
cut height?

John,
In this situation the plasma cutter unit is used on the CNC machine as
well as as a manual hand cutter. So the clamp remains to be universal.
It is trivial to switch between use on the CNC table or as a manual hand
cutter, as long as you don't forget the ground clamp.

You say you were using a limit3. Did you have limit3.maxv or limit3.maxa
set to limit the acceleration? Since the input is a rotational velocity
you only want to limit rotational acceleration which would be maxv. maxa
would limit the change in rotational acceleration causing overshoots. I

Hey all,
I have been troubleshooting some noise that I have on my servo encoders.
I have isolated the noise source to be the 1/4hp Automation Direct GS1
VFD that I have running my coolant pump. If the coolant pump is not
running then there is no noise on the encoders and the machine maintains
Second question of the day.
A buddy of mine is getting ready to build a CNC plasma table. He has
asked me to help with the LinuxCNC stuff and the CNC stuff in general.
He is good with fabbing parts but not fully up to speed on the CNC side
of things.

I think I answered my own question. Per the documentation output of the
THCAD is 100Khz to 1Mhz. Looks like it needs an FPGA encoder counter.

I installed the iso image from 2.6.8 on my dads laptop. I had everything
working the way I wanted it last night. I powered it down and then
tonight when It boots up the system will lock up within 10 to 15 seconds
of getting to the login screen.
If I am fast I can login to they system and the xw

Just to follow up with what I have found.
I decided that I would try to reinstall the OS as was mentioned. I put
in the 2.6.8 disc and started the install process. Once I reached the
part of the install where it was configuring the network it would lock
up. I was connecting to my local network

John,
That is an interesting point. I am getting ready to add gear tooth
sensors on the bull gear so I can rigid tap. I don't have a brak
