G28.1 not zeroing axis
« on: January 27, 2015, 12:54:18 PM »
To simulate zeroing after many missed steps, I manually placed my x axis at approx. X=0, and ran this code:-

g00 x700
g92 x800
g28.1 x0

it crashed the switch, crunched while missing steps, and set the X axis to +100.

I then ran:-
g92 x0
g00 x700
g92 x600
g28.1 x0

This time it went past software zero, slowed down, tripped the switch, gave X as -100.

What I wanted it to do in both cases was to move towards the home switch, trip it, give it a value of zero, then move back from the switch.

My homing is configured as below:-

Axis          X
Reversed    no
Soft Max    100
Soft Min   -100
Slow zone  1.0
Home off   0.0
Home neg  yes
Auto Zero   yes
Speed        20%

No other switches are enabled.

I have obviously misunderstood how to set this up properly, I can't see (from how I understand it) why it does this. What am I misunderstanding, and what do I have to change?

Thanks

Didn't mention, I had X home set to active low (a green tick). Setting it back to active low 'no' (red X), and repeating the first part, it again crashed the switch but set axis to zero, gave me a message 'Requested home axis switch is active.. please fix, then home..

Still confused

I'll have to look back through my written notes/diary thing, if I've still got it. May take a while...

I found the diary, but theres nothing in there about G28.1. I seem to remember it had something to do with not understanding the figures after the G28.1 command, ie 'g28.1 x0'. I don't remember what exactly. Also it may have had something to do with machine vs. work coordinates issues, and I seem to remember rewiring some limit/home switches around that time too. Sorry I can't be more help, I didnt write down quite as much stuff as I thought I had.

Maybe start a new thread on this?
