preamble:
i am converting an mr1 to linux cnc via 7i96s. the y axis is parallel stepper motors. y2 and z home switches are nc type and in series. the box i am making is all new drivers/power supplies only thing i will be reusing out of the factory box is the vfd for the spindle. i want this to be a plug and play so i can swap back to stock box if needed. dealing with code is not completely forign to me but the last time i did anything serious was in msbasic, and a little dabbing into megasquirt engine control.
im not sure the best way to set up the homeing switches. i tried
1. assigning net home-y2 <= hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.input-03-not and
net home-z <= hm2_7i96s.0.inm.00.input-03-not
did not work gave errors
2.checking home is shared on y2 and z and only asigning an input to z. did not work either
3. tied 2 inputs together and asigned them each as y2 and z
worked but don't seem right to me
4. in z axis joint3 i put
net home-y2 => joint.3.home-sw-in and home is shared
that works but does not seem right.
what is the best way to do this, or is there another way
