Configuring double axis stepper motor

I did not install the limit switch yet, but "forced" the homing process with the "Home Joint" button

Anyway: how do you perform the homing process in the right way ?

It would be the next step... somewhen

Thanks cmorley

There are many options - depends on what you want to do. If you don't home consistently then soft limits become useless.

If you add 'HOME_SEQUENCE = 0' in the INI to each joint then AXIS should pop up a HOME_ALL button rather then having to home each joint - might be handier.

Without home switches usually one homes to visual marks by jogging the joints to marks then pressing the home button, but that reuires some changes in the INI/HAL

Every time I start the configured LinuxCNC before reaching the world-mode I need to re-perform the Axis-homing.
Is there a way to save it for the next start ?

Just found out.... when you need to re-home a "tandem or master" axis, first you need to un-home both of them and than homing both again !

in the INI under the [TRAJ] heading add:
POSITION_FILE = position.txt

That should make linuxcnc start up with the mast position recorded when shut down.

By the way these options were available in pncconf but are probably non obvious.
