VB and the development of wizards / Re: macro for homing

Hi,

Use the standard RefHome feature to find the switch then use a MACRO to inch the drive in the direction of the index mark Use a Do While LOOP to inch the drive untill it sees the index signal.

While Index SIGNAL <> 1
Code"G91"
Code"X.001"
Loop
End

and you think this macro is fast enough to see a zero mark of  a resolver ?

you have to figure out to witch pins the e-stop is connected and
set them in ports and pins configuration screen.

Hylan,
have you checked in control panel -> hardware (hope it named so in the englisch version)
how the card is detected by the system ?
maybe you have to install a new driver from Lava homepage.

Hi,

you are looking in the serial port settings, but
you have to look for parallel Port settings.
