Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your help...

I have just finished mechanically and electrically installing the fourth axis, moved by an Asda B servo.
The motor moves correctly in jog and the encoder pulses are read by the 7i85s board, A/A B/B Z/Z .
However, I cannot do homing using Z/Z of the encoder.
Index-enable is always at zero, but if I try to force it to 1 with the command sets xxx-index-enable 1 it goes to 1 and returns to zero when the Z/Z pulse passes, so I think there are no electrical problems .
I think the problem is the configuration on ini or hal, I'm attaching my files, they're still in progress, maybe you can tell me where I'm going wrong

I suspect the basic issue is that you have no 'A' home switch and HOME_SEARCH_VEL is non zero.
If you want to home only on index, HOME_SEARCH_VEL should be 0 and the search for index
will be done at HOME_LATCH_VEL. Also I don't think HOME_FINAL_VEL can be 0.

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

An additional issue is that you do not have position feedback coming from the encoder
but rather the stepgen. This will not work for homing to index unless you use special firmware
with step/dir index. If you use encoder feedback you should lower the P term to about 10 to start.

thanks pcw,
-HOME_SEARCH_VEL is non zero.
and i don't have position feedback from encodet.

thanks pcw, setting the feedback works, but I can't understand why when I reset the axis with G10 L20 P0 A0, the value of A does not go to zero but remains at a small value which seems to be a delta from the absolute coordinates.
