Has anyone been able to home a STG axis using a home switch and an encoder
index pulse?
I understand that Paul has made some modifications to the relevant code,
but I still haven't been able to get this to work.
I am using the BDI 2-12 and have recently updated the latest sources from
the SourceForge site using:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous-at-cvs.EMC.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emc login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous-at-cvs.EMC.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emc co emc
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous-at-cvs.EMC.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/emc co rcslib
I have the following setup:
a STG model 2, 4 axis card.
EMCMOT= stg2mod.o
An encoder that is directly coupled to my motor with A B Z channels wired
correctly to the STG board.
I scope the encoder pulses and there is definitely a 5V pulse every rev of
the encoder.
My setup is tuned and working.
If I recompile with the # define NO_INDEX_PULSE uncommented in extstgmot.c,
I can home off the home switch only.
Any advice?
