Re: New Centroid Teknic Clearpath officially supported configurations. Updated 5-10-23
So I'm still trying to fully understand the auto squaring. I have clearpath SK motors on each Y axis and I'm using the cnc4pc c86accp with Y slaved. Can I do the hard stop homing with this configuration as I'd eventually like to utilize my A (4th) axis for a rotary in the future.

its a homing selection in the v5.0. Wizard. clearpath setup link to instructions is on same page.jasonstewart81 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 6:52 pm So I'm still trying to fully understand the auto squaring.

set up c86 for hardware pair.
clearpath setup link to instructions here as well

Thank you Keith. Yeah I was looking at that documentation and just wanted to confirm I was understanding it correctly. I guess if set up correctly it is a pretty accurate repeatable way of homing. Would be nice to implement auto squaring and eliminate the need for homing sensors (switches) if I can. The cnc router I have (onefinity) originally came with stall homing and standard stepper motors, but that process wasn't very accurate.cnckeith wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2023 5:21 pmits a homing selection in the v5.0.

yep! that's why we did it, documented it and added the feature to the Wizard, works great, no wires/switches to install or go bad and frees up 4th axis for rotary work and you still have autosquaring. you can have your cake and eat it too.
make a build thread and post info and photos of your project for others to see please. we need to get the word out.
