I'm a bit confused. How do you get branched versions, and which one?
When you say "something other than", is this a branch from 2.7.4 PRTK?

Yes I do have independent homing switches to avoid the "racking" problem.
The gantry moves just find with G-codes and keyboard jog and +/- in

The hal component (src/hal/components/xhc-hb04.cc) provides

are conventionally connected with the signal

Problem with the pendant is that sometimes, when it is left untouched
for at least several seconds, it stops updating its display. For
example, when the program is running or machine is jogged by a keyboard.
