My machine is using linear encoders for position feedback. These encoders know whether or not they have been homed. The home position of each access is only lost if the machine is unplugged. How can I configure to skip homing when the axis is already homed? Is this doable in the INI or HAL files? Can it be done in the encoder device driver?
My lathe is very similar. (it isn't actually absolute but the resolvers are single-turn absolute, so with a normal shutdown position.txt is enough to make them absolute, most of the time).
You can have multiple INI files in a single config folder sharing HAL files. So I have two configs. One (default) assumes the abs encoders are right. The other homes conventionally to swiches when I notice that it's gone wrong.
Multiple INI files sounds like what I need to do. From the source code it looks like I need to set the joint homed flag. There isn't currently a way to do that.
It's possible that simply netting them together will work, but I would rather expect that it would need to be used in conjunction with an and2 and an edge, to create a single pulse when the machine is turned on, if the bit is set.
