Hello,

here is my next problem regarding the Parker motor controllers: When I

trigger HOMF/HOMR the motor record sends "1HOM0"/"1HOM1" followed by

"GO" to the device. Unfortunately my Gemini GT6K controller starts going

to the home position immediately after it receives the "HOM" command and

aborts the homing procedure when it receives the "GO" command :-(

The relevant line seems to be motorRecord.cc:1940 (R6-8). Commenting out

this line fixes the problem for me. But obviously this is not really a

solution since it almost certainly breaks the behavior of other motor

controllers :-(

Do I have to consider this feature broken for the PC6Ks? Did anyone run

into the same problem with other types of PC6K controllers or do the

HOMF/HOMR fields work for other models?

Best regards,

Martin
