Well, a lot of people would be using it in the shop. So something suggestive of "bleeding edge" could be a problem. My problem is that under 2.7.4, I THOUGHT the gantry component was doing independent homing of the X1 and X2 motors. There are homing switches tied in on the joints. However, a physical check of what was going on showed it wasn't fully aligned and basically it was just jogging both joints in sync until X1's homing switch tripped and then drive both back in sync while watching the X1 homing switch alone. X2 wasn't being used at all and it couldn't fix gantry racking. I'm not clear on whether gantry does or does not have the ability to independently home, I thought I was told it does. I just need indep homing. I don't have any feelings for "gantry" vs "JA" except that gantry is already set up. If I don't go with 2.8-pre, what are my options for getting indep homing? Sounds like I do at least need to upgrade LinuxCNC.
