Homing via VB
«

February 07, 2008, 11:27:08 AM »
Can I control the "bounce off" distance after an axis is homed using VB?
Can I control the homing speed using VB, besides setting the % in the homing and limits dialog?
Currently I am using DoButton(22), DoButton(23), DoButton(24) to home X,Y and Z.
My tool probing at 20mm/min is much more accurate and repeatable then my homing at 400mm/min.
Its either the inductive switches I use for homing or the fact that I home at a higher speed than I probe.
I'd like to be able to home at high speed and then back of the switch and home again at a slow speed and see
if this method improves my problem. I assume there is some sort of latency when homing probing at higher speeds
,if not then I'll try some new switches which are mechanical like my tool probe.

Yes,
You can put a custom VB driven homning routing in your home button in screen designer.

So I found the parameters for setting speed of homing how bout the bounce off after homing?
SetParam(XRefPer, 40) ' X 40 % speed for homing
SetParam(YRefPer, 40) ' Y 40 % speed for homing
SetParam(ZRefPer, 40) ' Z 40 % speed for homing
SetParam(XHomingBounceOffDistance, 10) ?
SetParam(YHomingBounceOffDistance, 10) ?
SetParam(ZHomingBounceOffDistance, 10) ?

'you can put this in your Macro pump it will only run right after your ref leds light ups, change the offset value to + or - and the amount:
' leave your first three lines in your ref button for setparam.
'macropump.m1s
Refcount = GetUserDRO(2000)
If GetOEMLED(807) and GetOEMLED(808) and GetOEMLED(809) and Refcount=0 Then
Code "X10 Y10 Z10"
SetUserDRO(2000,1)
End If
If GetOEMLed(800) Then
SetUserDRO(2000,0)
End If
