    Hi,

    I have a mill running from Mach 3 and an Ethernet Smooth Stepper. I have 2 motors on the Y axis and 2 micro-switches for homing.

    Sometimes I forget that soft limits are off and run in to the switches that I then need to glue back in place and my gantry no longer homes perfectly square. I use small shims on the gantry to get the switches triggering at just the right position.

    Is there a way to simply adjust the alignment in software? I bet there is, I'm fed up of doing this manually with shims!!

    Thank you!
