HM2 encoder index homing works (to the best of my knowledge), though I dont think the hm2-servo config supports homing. For proper home-on-index you probably want to use the 5i20/SVST8_4IM2.BIT firmware, since it supports index masking. You'd normally use the limit/home switch as the index mask. > Also, in the supplied example for the servo 5i20 hm2 configuration, there is > only a servo thread.

All the user should need to do is set the SCALE of the encoders and tune the PID loops appropriately for the motors & machine. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky "Like most small parts, they are concrete-soluble: you drop them once, they're gone forever." -- John Bush ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
