Hi Jon

No encoders. Besides the 7i76e and raspberry pi, the machine is using the
original steppers and electronics.
OK, without encoders, then you are limited by the servo period. So, figure some way to tie the sensor in with the mechanical switch, and make the home move slow enough so you are doing less than 1000 steps/second. Previous messages mentioned some schemes to tie the sensor in with the switch. The idea is that LinuxCNC will make a fast approach until the and of the sensor and switch show true at HOME_SEARCH_VEL, then back off and approach slowly until they show true again at HOME_LATCH_VEL, and that is the home position.
