    Actually that should be "Ok you're Stupid' but the grammar police will let you off just this once

    What confused me was the homing being set by the release of the switch. I only speak LinuxCNC which sets the homing on the (second) activation of the switch after the gantry has backed off and run in again slowly. An upgrade to version 2.8 includes the ability to have two separately controlled motors with their own switches to square the gantry. Then it runs off the switches by a set distance which can be slightly different for the two sides to fine-tune the squaring.

    That's basically what my board was designed to do but I opted to create all-new step pulses while the controller believed the machine was stationary. It also acted as the splitter for sending the pulses from one output axis of LinuxCNC to two motor drivers during normal operation. 'Great minds', eh?

    An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an engineer says you're using the wrong sized glass.
