EMC2 problem...
Last night I was trying to calculate my backlash so I can compensate for it in EMC2 (2.2.2.1, I think) I had my Dial Indicator on my magnetic base with the 'plunger' depressed against a drill bit.
I was trying run a simple G-Code command. g0y-.25 (inches) I got an error that said something like 'cannot run code with machine not homed' I tried homing the machine. It still won't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong.
Thanx,

I am new to linux and all things cnc. I am, however, learning rapidly.

That's version 2.3.x. You need to home the machine before running any program or MDI command.
You need to make sure you home all axes, not just one (select each axis, then click home).
Or use ctrl-home to home them all at once, if you have a HOME_SEQUENCE defined in your ini file.

I'll copy paste it later tonight. So you know exactly what it says.
Does this give a clearer idea of my problem?

How do I know what values to use here? Should I try -8 to 8?
