I wrote an email on March 24th and haven't heard back, so I just wanted to follow up in case it got caught by your spam filter.

I guess that means positive and negative news for me. For the limit / home switch for Z position I use an inductive sensor and that is mounted in a way, that the tailstock would be detected. The bad news is obviously now, that the home position is dependent on the tailstock position and I will need to make sure, that the tailstock is exactly in the same position every time I perform homing.
Does that sound like a reasonable approach or should there be some absolute location to avoid that dependency ?

It's been a while. Lot's happened in the last almost 2 years. Death of our 35 year old son at the end of 2023 has kind of screwed up my world.

Going through the various postings from back in 2023 I never did see you post a copy of

measure_tool_inch.ngc

If you have the time would you post that please?

Thanks

Morning,

I replaced "encoder.00.position" with "stepgen.00.position-fb", which worked fine.

Then I checked the encoder and realized that it was counting in the negative direction when moving in positive coordinates. So, I added a minus sign in front of the stepper count in my .ini.
Now, the axis moves during the first part of the homing process. However, as soon as it hits the home switch for the first time which then tells it to change directions a "following Error" occurs.

Did this machine run the hob with a hydraulic motor for the hob spindle?

I have returned back to 2.9.4 but i will try again master.
In qtdragon_hd i can't find touch plate z axis probing.
This exists in qtdragon but can't find it to hd version.
Is somewhere hidden?
