I am getting close to being able to put together one of the "delta"
style 3D printers, and I will need to put more thought into homing.

The current state-of-the-art for this in the Arduino world is shown in
the following videos:

The process is as follows:

* Each joint is homed to a switch at the top of the travel range (you
can barely see the belts moving for this at the beginning of the
video) which provides approximate homing

* Then carriage is lowered and moved towards one of the joint arms in
a motion that releases a captured bed probe (an allen wrench with a
switch and some springs)

* The bed height is probed using the allen wrench sensor and
automatically leveled via firmware

* The carriage moves off the bed so it can push the allen wrench into
the retracted position

* The machine is homed and ready to use

Question:
How do I begin to hook in a homing procedure like this to LinuxCNC?
