Yeah the EL7 can home by stalling (uh "torque detection" lol) but a) I've already wired the limit switches in and b) it just sounds like a crash but in slow motion which gives me the jeebies.
Yeh, why I stopped too. Following errors seemed to stop things before the damage as it clearly wasn't homing.
Noticed tonight there is a register that displays motor torque. i might put into halscope and watch it
