I am helping a buddy build a plasma cutter. The z axis assembly we are 
using includes a probe switch so that when the torch tip moves up a 
slight amount relative to the normal torch position it will trip the 
switch saying the torch is on the metal to be cut.

It is simple enough to use this switch as a probe switch and we will do 
so. However I would like to use it as a z-axis limit switch when a probe 
move is not being conducted.

Is there any reason I cannot use the motion.motion-type pin to disable 
the switch as a limit switch during a probe move? It is stated in the 
man page that it is a debugging pin.

Is there a better way to do this?

What say you?

Thanks,

Jim
