So Neale what you do normally when you start your machine? Bump the gantry to some gantry hard stops as a dedicated Linux user?

Its seems incredible, but its the same with Mach3. I am sure half of the motion control plugins are not capable of it or are very obscure. Mostly cause people who write them have mills and dont have a way to try it or think that all people in the world use servos with absolute encoders.

The way i see it it is a must for steppers.
