[Bdi4emc-help] configuring ini file

[David Szakovits]

   I have an add on card with two additional printer ports.  On page 39
   Master_User.pdf it says a full suite of home and limit switches can be
   implemented with independent wires, if 2 more parallel ports are
   added.

   if there are 5 inputs, for a three axis machine, does it make sense to
   have use 3 inputs for home switches and then combine the limit
   switches?
   Are the limit switches, useful for more than a safety feature for
   turning the motors off in case of a mishap?
   In EMC(1). are the pinouts customized by changing configuration files
   or is it more involved?

I need to have 3 axes homed.
Is it possible with present setup?
    

Yes, you can have all three homed. Each axis will need to be homed separately 
and moved off the home switch before the next can be homed. If one axis is 
not fitted with a home switch, then the postition would need to be zero'd 
manually each time you power the system up as EMC wouldn't have a fixed 
reference point to work from.
