Homing using index

Greetings PCW, i tried what you asked and seems like there is no hardware issue, the linux detects the index perfectly well and responded as you suggested. I guess the real problem lies in the hal file. what line should i add in the hal file so that when the machine hits the index while homing, it gets zeroed.

EDIT:
i solved the problem, thanks to you guys. you guys are the best. i copied some lines from my last time and it works now. the problem was with the HAL only. thanks a lot guys.

Does your INI file have HOME_USE_INDEX set in each [JOINT_n] section?

it wasn't adding those lines because i wasn't choosing any home switch inputs in PNCCONF but then i used some random inputs so that it generates basic lines for inputs in both hal and INI files. then i switched the HAL input lines with the encoder inputs and voila , it works now. thanks a lot guys, a big help. although i busted a radial bearing while doing all this , i need to fix that first,. thanks a lot guys.

Hello
I just connected the z pulse signal from the encoder and I want to use it for homing.
(A, B are not connected) Open loop system
This is how I configured the ini and hal files. And But when the homing command is sent, the joint moves until it reaches the homing switch (for example, position x=20), then the axis value immediately becomes zero and moves in the opposite direction until it reaches the index pulse, and when the index pulse is received, the axis value is set to 20 and moves at maximum speed until it reaches zero.
What should I do if I want the joint to stop immediately upon receiving the index pulse and consider that point as the origin?
Is not connecting the encoder the reason for this last movement?
 

Have you tried:

HOME_INDEX_NO_ENCODER_RESET = YES

in your ini file?

Yes, I tested this before, but it did not make a difference in the result
