I think you are assuming there is no support for a "homing report", but I didn't notice anyone asking if anyone thought it was a good idea or not. Sometimes noise will get on Servo encoder cables also and cause positioning errors also, so it could be valuable to a servo system.
I'm not sure that what is wanted couldn't be done in Hal right now.. "on the edge of home, switch grab the current axis position count, display that on a PyVcp screen" ?? If the result isn't zero or whatever it should be (it should always be the same or close) then you have a problem. Regarding the video inside of EMC2; Slavko, are you using another app in a different window right now? Why doesn't that work for you? When they put the video window inside of Mach3, that caused all kinds of issues and it seems like no one is happy with the size of the window within Mach3, the way the cross hairs display etc, etc... Then you can get into camera differences also. So many desires, and so little time. ;-) Dave (Dave911 on IRC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
