homing problem !!!! was created by RobotMatic
i have a serious problem with homing on my brigesport machine.
homing secuence doesnt'n work and it sends this message:
"home switch inactive before start of latch move"
this is my configuration on pin 11,12,13 for x,y,z on axis in mm. (HOME X, HOME Y, HOME Z)
for example axis_0
HOME 1,0
BACKLASH = 0,03
HOME OFFSET = 3
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 1
HOME_LATCH_VEL = 1
HOME_FINAL_VEL = 16
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 0
THE TABLE MOVES ONLY 3MM AND STOPS BUT THE SWITCH IS AT 200 MM FOR EXAMPLE.
WHAT DOES IT HAPPEN WITH MY HOME CONFIGURATION ?

Sounds like your switches are not working or you have the home switch polarity backwards (so EMC sees the home switch as always activated)
If the polarity is backwards, connecting to the pin??-in-not instead of pin??-in in the HAL file should fix it

It might also be electrical noise in the limit switch wiring.
Have a look at the switch input in Halscope.
You could try a debounce hal function to fix it, if that is the case, but proper shielding and grounding is important too.

I believe Peter is right EMC moves the three mm trying to back OFF the switch cause it thinks its tripped.
This is a fairly common error message when first setting up home switches.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !!!
Today, I could run the homing sequence. I changed the polarity pins and set the software limits.
But , I have a small problem , when emc runs the search_vel , the movement is not continuous. This starts and stops until the switch.
The halcope shows little noise in the connection. Can the noise be the reason of the problem?
I'm using wire without aislation.
Best regards,

Yes if you see noise its very likely a cause of homing troubles. There are a couple if possible solutions
One is to run the home switch signal through the debounce component (This requires a HAL file change)
Another possibility is to shield the switch wire or put a small (say .005 uF) capacitor across the switch
