But is it machine coords or offset for A that is wanting zeroed? That is what I am unsure of.

If it's the offset, looks like it would be DoButton (1011)   
or DoButton (86) for mach. zero

If you want to zero the A Axis after the homing then DoOEMButton(1011) should work fine.


Yes, I'm hitting the "Ref All Home" button (which is where I got the code from and posted in post #5).

Looks like I don't need all the information that's in there since I don't have encoders. Correct?

I simply added the DoOEMButton(1025) to the bottom of the list.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I would guess that to be correct.

DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )


DoOEMButton(133)
DoOEMButton(134)
DoOEMButton(135)
DoOEMButton(1025) 


So do I keep the blue or the red?

They are two different things. Use either:

DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )
or
DoOEMButton(1024)
DoOEMButton(1023) 
DoOEMButton(1022) 
DoOEMButton(1025)

Hello All,
While this is not directly related to the above it is a similar problem I am currently having re: homing.  My machine has worked fine for some time and all of a sudden sees the switches as active when I know they are not, I've got them jumpered out.  Checking diagnostics I see that there is no active pin on port1, but pin 12 is configured for the home and limit switches strung together.
So, where to start, the control box, the parallel cable, the PC, or the software?  Or am I missing something all-together different?
Thanks,

Sounds like you are getting noise on the limits wiring, try a debounce interval of 2000 but preferably shield the wiring and ground correctly if you have not done so already.
