Gentlefolk, Things get interesting.....
By adjusting the signs and values of the various HOME_ parameters When I 'Home' the axis the axis stops nicely at the limit switch and sets the axis position to 0.0 (as seen on the Axis GUI display. Axis then pops up a message 'joint 1 limit switch error' and I have to click OK to continue. Should this happen? Fiddling with HOME_OFFSETS. HOME_IS_SHARED, etc to try and inhibit this have no effect. Any suggestions???? If I have the soft limit (MAX_LIMIT ) greater than the physical limit switch value and jog up the Axis the axis stops on the limit switch. All Ok if the MAX_LIMIT is less than the limit switch position value, we stop on the MAX_LIMITS position. Then whilst trying to get off the limit a couple of things can happen: Click on home and the axis goes north, increasing the value of the axis and if I do not stop it crashing into the frame. I think this may have something to do with Axis thinking that the axis is at 0.0 (home) and going north to position at the home_offset. Try and jog in a negative direction and occasionally I get a long message which I unfortunately have not captured. On other occasions I get 'joint 1 limit switch error' and I cannot get the axis off the limit. All a bit ugly.
