Re: [Emc-users] Index only homing

Jeff,

regarding the rotary encoder homing on a linear axis...

We use a similar system, but use an additional prox switch
that says, 'the home is inside THIS revolution'.
I use it on a device where the encoder is on a worm
gear that turns 90x for every 360" of a C axis.

But the idea should apply to a rotary encoder on a linear axis.

Some hal-foo is needed for the 'close to home' prox switch.

Oh, beware being too close to the prox's edge ;)
Try to have 'home' at least 1/2 turn past 'close to home'.
