Title: Homing Axis Using Encoder Index Pulse
Post by: jastein on January 10, 2016, 02:41:25 PM

I am looking to use the Pokeys57CNC board as a motion controller for a lathe to upgrade from parallel port. I have looked over the documentation but have not seen how to set the home position using the encoder index pulse after a homing switch is contacted. I would like to have the homing be as accurate as possible, thus would like to be able to set to the encoder index.  I am currently using Mach 3 Turn but would move to Mach 4 if this homing sequence were available in a plugin. If it is not done from the plug in, please recommend the best method for such homing of an axis.

Thanks, Jim

Hi, Jim

Homing using encoder index pulse is not yet supported, but we are looking into implementing it soon.
