How do I zero an axis when homed?

I know this has to be covered somewhere, but I am not finding it in the homing configuration docs or anywhere else..

I would like to zero my axis when homed.. Instead it seems to jog back to where ever "zero" was before homing.. (where the axis was when it turned on)..

Current behavior:
Boot Linux CNC: All Axis say 0
Home X axis : machine feeds to switch, triggers, then feeds back to the arbatrary location the axis was when it turned on
Axis stays 0 sure but its not zero.. zero is where my home switch is.

Ideal behavior:
Boot Linux CNC : (Frankly I don't care what it says, but for giggles, lets say it remembers its last coordinate)
Home X axis: Machine Jogs to switch, switch trigger (and searching and latching and such), Linux sets THAT location to 0 then applies HOME and HOME_OFFSET (which are both currently zero)

To elaborate the problem.. If I boot with my X axis 5mm from home and I home, it will feed to the switch, do its thing, then feed back 5mm... (back to the booted up location) If I boot with my X axis 20mm from the home switch and I home, it will feed 20mm to the switch, then feed back 20mm to where the machine was when it booted up...

I KNOW this has got to be something simple, but I am not finding it in the docs or searching the forums..

Thanks for any help what is I am sure a very dumb question....

Homing can be setup in many ways. Look over the latest docs on the homing sequences which have a nice illustration:

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/config/ini-homing.html

It's the HOME_OFFSET you want to adjust.

maybe I am not describing the problem correctly..

Current behaviour (with X 10mm away from the home switch):
Boot Linux CNC: X is 0 in G53
Home X: Machine Feeds -10, Home switch triggers, feeds < 5mm to Index pulse, machine stops. X is -10 on G53 (not reset to zero), X moves back to 0 (the place it was when booted)

Jog machine to say +5mm (now machine is 15mm from Home switch.
Turn off Linux CNC

restart Linux CNC: X is 0 G53 (because it is resetting to zero between boots)
Home X: Machine feeds -15mm this time (because remember we moved it 5mm) X is now -15 in G53, X moves back to 0 (which is 15mm from the home switch/the same place it was when we restarted linux CNC.

Expected behaviour:
Start Linux CNC: X axis is some random number (zero is fine)
Home X: X feeds to the home switch, , feeds < 5mm to Index pulse, when triggered the X in G53 is set to 0

I had an HOME_OFFSET of 0, I also tried 0.001 to see if the issue was with HOME_OFFSET not being zero but that isn't documented, and the problem persists with a non zero value so that is not it..

Here is the relevant part of my INI file

HOME = 0
HOME_OFFSET = 0.001000
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 4.000000
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.500000
HOME_FINAL_VEL = 10.000000
HOME_USE_INDEX = YES

To be clear it IS jogging to the home switch, and latching on it.. the issue is that G53 is not changing based on home being found.

Ok on to something here..
HOME_USE_INDEX = YES <---- If this is NO things work as expected, but if its YES things are weird..

Carefully watching the DRO here is what happens...

Home X from Linux CNC starting with X axis 10mm from switch
1- Feed to Switch (-10mm in DRO)
2- DRO zeros
3- Feed to Index Pulse (DRO less than 5mm because that is where the index pulse is)
4- DRO resets back to started state (-10mm + DRO location at index pulse)
5- Feed to X 0 (original X location at boot up)

Step 4 should not be happening.. the DRO should reset to 0 again..

So its something with the Index Pulse Latch process that is screwing up homing..

Index is only used if you are reading in the index signal from your encoder (either linear or rotary) in conjunction with switch or index only as called out in section 6 from the doc I linked.

Are you using the index or are you homing conventionally?

HOME_OFFSET can be zero. But that would not explain why it parks in different locations.
If you are using index and the pulse is missed for some reason, you could be off by maybe a full motor revolution (assuming motor mounted encoder)

The movements are all correct per the documentation, HOME_SEARCH_VEL speed is used until the switch is hit, then HOME_LATCH_VEL speed is used until the encoder index is hit (yes there are motor encoders, and yes the index pulse is firing)

The park location is based on where the Axis is at boot.. If X axis was 100mm from the home switch, the Park locaiton would be 100mm from my home switch, if I restarted with the X axis 25mm from my home switch the park location would be 25mm from the home switch...

Its the step 4 that I described above where the DRO should reset back to zero after finding the index and instead is resetting to the feed distance from where the axis was when Linux CNC started..

Its extra telling that the issue is only when using index.. suggests there may be a bug with the HOME_USE_INDEX algorithm...

Is homing something that is a "macro" that is editable or would that require going to source to fix or debug further?

(I am running 2.8 prod release)

I don't know.
The behavior you should see if you select homing is, regardless where you last placed your axes, on startup axes move to the the home switch, then look for index then final move to the home offset position. That position is 0 and it should not change from one homing routine to the next.

Is that part working correctly? Does your machine physically stop at the correct position? Say 10mm away from the index point if your home offset is -10? That position should read 0 on the dro. If not maybe clear it via set zero for the coordiante system you're working in? Also there is a view setting relative/actual position that will change how the coordinates are displayed. Not sure if any of that helps.

So fundamentally X home changes every-time I boot even though X is searching and latching at the same physical location (in meat space) the same time everytime..

I threw a quick 4 minute video up showing the behavior..



Hopefully that will help explain the issue which is feeling more like a bug..

Can you post your hal and ini files?

BTW homing to index with step/dir is not supported AFAIK

oh! wait, you can't use index with a closed loop step/direction servo? um... how is the step generator involved in this as the encoder is essentially a second home switch. Is there a way I can customize that behaviour outside of source... Homing on my z-pulse is the difference between home +/- .5mm and home +/-.005mm (basically the backlash of the ball screw)

Here is my Hal and INI (they are both still very much in development)...
