Help setting a 2-Axes lathe #517
-
I'm trying to config a lathe (2-axes, Z along the spindler and X). The axes positions and names seems to be important - at least I couldn't make Fusion360 use other options. I've searched for information about this but couldn't find anything that really helps. Anyway, maybe I'm missing something because it shouldn't be so hard to configure a ZX Lathe machine, following the conventions. Any help will be welcome. EDIT: just found the "#define DISABLE_Y_HOMING" line in "cnc_hal_config.h" and it's working, although UGS shows the Y axis trying to home - but it works. Is this the correct approach? And,, again, are there options in uCNC to configure the Home Cycle (order, axes, etc) as in grbl? |

Sorry for the late reply. I did not notice this topic. There are multiple ways to kind of do this. Please check This This is a modification I added to v1.8 to alias Y axis as Z axis in 2 axis machines. Just be aware that you still configure both x and y axis. Z commands will just be aliased internally to use y axis. On current v1.7 (and 1.8 too) you can modify the homing axis order by changing the order in which each axis is homed. This is set in each kinematic file (for example kinematic for cartesian homing function) |

Disabling an axis homing is also an option. You can couple that with changing the axis indexes in the generic kinematicdefs.h
