(SOLVED) BUG REPORT: Gmocappy Homing buttons in joint mode in Master

Norbert, thanks. I recompiled master and checked the homing. Everything seems OK now. Thank you for taking this problem on board and resolving it for me. I;m going to update the thread title to solved.

Also please pass on my thanks to Dewey.

Hallo rodw,

I needed to change some code, as my changes destroyed some other parts of linuxcnc.
I will push in a few minutes. So please take care if you get the next update. IMHO it should work as expected. I want to make some more changes and enable again the HOME_Y button, as the sequential homing branch has been merged in master.

Just take care your Y axis (both) has the same negative home sequence!

@rodw,

I just pushed gmoccapy 2.3.0, with has much better support for ganty configs. Would you please test with real hardware?

Norbert

I will give it a go this week. I still have not got a complete table but hope to within a week. I'm now running Dewey Garretts External offset branch to try his PID based THC module.

Norbert,

I have tested this on my hardware with steppers on all axes. There is one issue with homing I noticed.
With a joint axis machine correctly configured with the identical negative value for HOMING_SEQUENCE (I used -1) everything works OK. Home all works and individual axes can be homed so I will give you a qualified pass.

With the axes configured incorrectly with a positive value for HOMING_SEQUENCE (I used 1), the MDI and run gcode buttons remain disabled if all axes are homed individually. Once Home All is pressed, the buttons are enabled. It appears this is recognised by the Axis GUI which prints an error message about misconfigured axes in the terminal window.

And yes, I had correcting the HOMING_SEQUENCE was on my to do list. I just did it sooner.....

Norbert,

What does this error mean?
I get this when jogging without homing the machine which is what the comments in your source code say I should expect.

Often then I hit a limit switch because the machine does not know where it is I guess.

Should jogging be disabled until the machine is homed?
