Subject: KStep Homing
Greetings,

I am setting up my limit and homing switches on the KStep. A few questions:

1. Is it possible to use the same switch for both homing and a limit?
2. The example programs have a program called "SimpleHome3Axis.c". When I try to compile it has an error on #include "SimpleHomeFunction.c". I believe it cannot find this program to reference.
Is there a place for me to download this missing program? Once I get it should I just save it in the same folder as "SimpleHome3Axis.c" and the compiler will automatically find it?
3. Is there a better homing program than this one for me to be using?

This is all probably quite obvious, but I appreciate the help!

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,
 
I've just checked the example files that come with 4.32a, and the only #include is for the KmotionDef.h file, and the example compiles ok.
I wonder if the example has been changed in later versions?
 
Certainly scanning over the example, it will do what you require of disabling limits to use them for homing, before renabling the limits.

Greetings,

I am trying to home my Kstep driven machine and I get the following error when I try to compile the example homing program. I am assuming that I am missing the #Include file "SimpleHomeFunction" but searching all of the folders hasnt found it.

Does anyone know what I am missing here?

Looks like my image didnt attach.. here it is again. I made sure that I have the latest examples from the dynomotion web site. So the example shouldnt have any changes that I made.

I’m running 433D and my SimpleHome3Axis.c looks nothing like your program.  What you are showing looks like my SimpleHomeIndexFunctionTest which uses:

 

#include "SimpleHomeIndexFunction.c"

 

Can you find that program?  If you can you may want to delete your troublesome line and replace it with the line above.  My homing is working great using this program.
