Ready Steady Eddy

[Boyan Silyavski]

* I'm saying that the gantry is rigid enough so that I only need one homing switch on the X motor side.
* I'm also saying that if Mach does it's dance with the switches where it backs off slightly once activated, my gantry is stiff enough that the AM882's trip on stall at the slightest racking which is another reason I only want one homing switch on X..

Is that still valid? I am right there and having very similar ideas

If the gantry racks then it is that small a movement I don't care. I disconnected one side and tried to push it, I could feel no movement but I did not use a dial indicator.
The AM882's have tripped on stall but only when I've tried to get too much speed/acceleration from the machine, when tuned to sensible values they do not trip.
I don't know if they tripped due to racking or something else.
I am still using only one homing switch on the X axis and that is working fine for me, your machine (silyavski) will be stiffer then mine I imagine so it should work for you too.
If anyone has doubts they should probably use one motor and connect the two ball screws with belts.
