Help Needed: Cracking the Code on LinuxCNC Servo Homing Setup!

Here is how I did it.

But still having issues to turn off internal homing, after homed.

This is how I solved for now: moved all axes 1mm out from home 0 point. 

This is not a good solution, just temporary, but working. Still not understand how soft limits work (in lcnc), and how to stop the machine in a distance from the switches. 


 

home_offset = -1

Nothing happens if

home_offset = -1

or

home_offset = 0

the machine still can go to the switch.

Since 'home_offset' is the standard procedure for this and definitely works on my machines I would guess your custom homing comp does not support 'home_offset'.
Does the drive use the limit switch for homing?

Yes, the drives using limit switch to homing. The homing process is:

1. Fast limit sw search
2. direction change at low speed
3. stop at first z signal
4. lcnc homed

It is possible, the offset is not implemented. I'm using Marco Reps modifications with a custom comp file, which is based on standard homing.c

What is the desired motion if home offset is on? Let say 1mm.
