My old Dynapth control used marks and the encoder index pulse for homing on the X & Y axes, no homing switches. I would like to use a similar approach with Mach/Galil. I would like to zero at the mark, have the axis go .1" or so negative, reverse positive to the encoder index. I tried simulating the home input with a brain (activating at -.100). It shows to be working on the diagnostic screen, but will not reverse the axis when referencing like it should. I suspect that the homing process is internal to the Galil, so it doesn't care what Mach sees, but I would like to know if there is a way around this.
Thanks,
Mike
