Hi all, My apologies if this has been asked before. A quick search didn't show anything. I have a XPro CNC driver. I'm only wanting to use a single motor to build a translation table. I still want the ability to home the axis. But, from what I understand, the homing program looks for switch transitions on the Z-axis first, followed by the X and Y. And it's not just a simple case of permanently closing the X and Y limit switches. I think the solution is to disable the homing requirement of the X and Y axes and only use the Z-axis to drive the motor. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help you guys can provide. A.
NOTE: Check out config.h for more homing options for advanced users. You can disable the homing lockout at startup, configure which axes move first during a homing cycle and in what order, and more. yes it can be done... Bob
Hi Bob, Thanks for the speedy reply. So, I see in config.h, the section defining homing patterns. From the (very well written) comments, it seems that all I need to do is comment out the line: #define HOMING_CYCLE_1 ((1<<X_AXIS)|(1<<Y_AXIS)) Then write it to the XPro and use the Z-Axis as I need. Is it really as simple as this? I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on. Thanks again. Alan.
