Limits or homing switchs???

Hi Ross

I have both home and limits on my machine, but I must say after I set up the soft limits I have never hit a limit switch. If you are running servo's then I would still install limits as it would not be the first time a servo has gone AWOL which could do some serious damage.

Home switch is nice for repatability.

What is the accuracy of homing switches as it would appear to me that if some form of micro switch is used then the position it switched at would vary depending on the direction you were homing from!
Can the homing be controlled so as to only happen in one direction, as micro switches have a thickness to the control arm.
