I'm about 1800 or so lines into a custom HOMECOMP.comp homing module but there are two things I have observed that might be useful enhancements that fall outside of HOMECOMP.comp
1. Could the normal component period variable be implemented in a HOMECOMP? Currently its not supported. The fperiod macro exists (and errors). I've had to implement my own low level timing solution in the absence of period. 2. Could a new INI file homing flag be added to homing.h? Lets call it HOMING_CUSTOM_MOD or similar that could be used hand in hand with a custom homing module? It has occurred to me that a custom homing module could support Linuxcnc's existing homing infrastructure AND a custom solution if such a flag existed. That way the custom homing module could be restricted to joints where this flag was set. I will say, writing a HOMEMOD is not for the faint hearted. I still have a fair bit to do before I can even think about actually homing! Anyway, I'd like to pass on thanks to Dewey for coming up with this enhancement. The ability to read, write and modify custom pins is very powerful.
