Hello,

I am starting to put alive my homemade CNC and I face a little problem about my homing that I cannot solve.

My X axis has his limit switch at max coordinate but I don't understand how to setup that in the ini file.

At the moment I have to say that my X axis is from -320.0 to 0 because it look like the limit switch has to be the zero for linuxcnc.

How can I tell linuxcnc that when it hit my limit switch it's x=320.0 and that zero is the soft limit ?

I would like to keep my coordinate system straightforward.

Thank for your help !

Might need to be careful testing this and set the home search and latch and final velocities to some pedestrian values, like 5 for metric system or .2 inch.
Home = 0
home offset -320
change the search and latch and final velocity sign to reflect the directions the machine has to move.

Where do you want the axis to move to at the end of homing?

HOME_OFFSET = 320

If you want the axis to stay that place
HOME = 320

If you want the axis to move to 0
HOME = 0

Sorry for my late reply.

Thank you all, HOME_OFFSET did the trick, it work exactly as I want it now :)
