NAME¶

homecomp - homing module template

SYNOPSIS¶

Custom Homing module loaded with [EMCMOT]HOMEMOD=homecomp

DESCRIPTION¶

Example of a homing module buildable with halcompile. Demonstrates required code for #includes, function definitions, etc.

An actual homing scheme is not implemented but all necessary functions are included as skeleton code. (All joints are effectively homed at all times and cannot be unhomed).

See the source code file: src/emc/motion/homing.c for the baseline implementation that includes all functions for the default homemod module.

To avoid updates that overwrite homecomp.comp, best practice is to rename the file and its component name (example: user_homecomp.comp, user_homecomp).

The (renamed) component can be built and installed with halcompile and then substituted for the default homing module (homemod) using:

$ linuxcnc -m user_homecomp someconfig.ini

or by inifile setting: [EMCMOT]HOMEMOD=user_homecomp

Note:If using a deb install:

1) halcompile is provided by the package linuxcnc-dev

2) This source file for BRANCHNAME (master,2.9,etc) is downloadable from github:
