There are multiple parameters: 1. You can declare the homing switch to be a coordinate other than 0. e.g. "after we settle on the switch, this axis is offset so this is now +1.25 inches"
2. You can set axis limits at anything. I probably would never set a negative coord as a limit but maybe that's just me. 3. You can send the axis anywhere after homing. e.g. "settle on the homing switch, call that +1.25", then move to 0.5" and leave it there."
