Hi,
yeah it works but is it optimal?
When homing Mach has to ignore the limit switches because they are being used as home switches at the moment. When do you suppose you are most
likely to have some sort of issue for which limit switches provide protection? Exactly a run away axis is more likely to ocurr when homing just when Mach
has no limit switches.
I would recommend that the home switches be separate then the limits switches will always be limit switches and be recognized by Mach as such and provide
the protection that is otherwise absent when homing.
