New ethercat / probe basic control for minimonster

That's odd. Here is what I have in my lathe where it homes on current position.

I don't think it is a good idea to combine homing on current position with HOME_OFFSET.
That means is set's zero exactly where it is and immediately after moves to HOME_OFFSET.

does your lathe use ethercat drives?

this is what i had before with the pulse drives. everything was fine. And i could have sworn in my first ethercat program *before* all this modbus nonsense it was fine as well.

Yes it does have ethercat drives. And modbus nonsense as well.

ive removed that now, now, no change. also that offset is + direction and it is slamming the thing full speed into the table.
