New ethercat / probe basic control for minimonster

The docs at linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini-homing.html says it
 

The cia402 component says

 For using the servo drives internal homing procedure configure your
joint homing to Home on Index Pulse only and connect the components
home Input to the index-enable Pin:

I don't see you have connected that pin.

To debug, use halscope and record controlword and statusword to and from the drive.

If I set like the table in your posts, it still moves and slams the axis into the end stops.
If I set homing sequence to -1 it flickers the drive.

I do not want any internal homing on the drive. I want no motion whatsoever.

What "normally" works is not here.

That's odd. Here is what I have in my lathe where it homes on current position.

I don't think it is a good idea to combine homing on current position with HOME_OFFSET.
That means is set's zero exactly where it is and immediately after moves to HOME_OFFSET.

does your lathe use ethercat drives?

this is what i had before with the pulse drives. everything was fine. And i could have sworn in my first ethercat program *before* all this modbus nonsense it was fine as well.

Yes it does have ethercat drives. And modbus nonsense as well.

ive removed that now, now, no change. also that offset is + direction and it is slamming the thing full speed into the table.

bah!
haha. clearly i've botched something somewhere. i just cant see it.

"Divide and conquer".
Comment out everything except one single axis and try until you find it.

well we sorta already did that. there is no setting that doesnt either flicker the drives or slam the axis. like it does't respect search or latch vel at all.

that has to be a clue. something ELSE is making it home. maybe it IS doing internal drive homing?
