auto homing for acorn

Post by trottrr50 »

I have my acorn set up on an x2 milling machine using a gecko g540 to drive the stepper motors. I am using the g540 configuration (custom) and have input 1 attached to the 3 home switches in series. Input 1 is set to "home all" on thew configuration page. When I start up cnc12 I can jog all 3 axes. But, what I have not figured out is how to initiate a "home all". Is it M92?

I guess I am to used to Mach 3 that had a button for this function.

The homing file is cncm.hom (or cnct.hom for lathe).

M92(move positive to home switch) and M91(move negative to home switch) are used in the home file if you used the Wizard to configure your control for home to switch.

If you used the wizard to create your home file and specified home to switch, the control will automatically be set to home on power up.
