That should work fine with LinuxCNC as-is, but I don't think that there is an easy way to change the homing direction on-the-fly. Ideally each switch would define a different HOME_OFFSET so that each switch homed to the same absolute home, and I don't think that is trivial either. It _might_ be possible to make a HAL component that sends an NML message to change the home offset when the switch is moved: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/NML_Messages.html#_emc_axis_set_home_offset_type -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
