oooh

All pins have GPIO capability (primary function) 
Secondary functions are PWM,Stepgen etc

Does anybody have a post processor that will work with Fusion 360 for LinuxCNC's  GUI QTPlasmac
Thanks

Thanks for looking into things.
I am not sure if I understand correct.
If I type mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid I get this



Is I/O port and GPIO refering to the same thing. In the screenshot I/O port 8 says it has no sec. (secondary?) function.


 

linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/config/ini...ome_absolute_encoder

if using multiturn absolute servo encoders there isn't any homing, the encoders use batteries to maintain their position and on startup of linuxcnc those encoder positions are written to linuxcnc. this is all setup inside the config files, check the docs for using absolute encoders for the correct ini settings. they are unique and special. with this once started and the encoder positions update the dro's the machine is set in the homed state. linuxcnc does not store the previous positions on shut down as they could be useless on startup even for a non absolute encoder machine which may move slightly when powered off or could be moved while powered off giving an incorrect assumed position to actual machine position.

in the sidebar tab under the WCS tab is a button named limits override but its use is somewhat finicky from my experience. it is just commanding the same functionality available via linuxcnc so the docs will have all of the use case information for how/when to use it.

Thanks for the fast reply, you are right, I imported dragon on the new install to double check and indeed also resets the position to zero. Dragon config is copy/pasted.. so I guess is due to the new install or LCNC 2.9.4? How are stored the encoder positions?

Maybe didn't notice due to edit I had BONUS QUESTIONS : qtdragon allowed me to manual jog outside machine software limits (with home all in red) is this possible with PB? How can I force absolute encoders position to zero? I don't have limit switches on the machine
