Hi Thomas,
For the block diagram conversion to Hal netlisting  I use Eagle2hal its documentated in lthe inuxcnc wiki (old but works for me). However if I had to start again I would learn Ed Nisley's Kicad to HAL the source code is in Python  also the Kicad people are planning to release a schematic API in their next release this would make it easy to make run time changes to the schematic capture and animate the schematic with realtime values.

I just measured the capacitance and resistance between the conductors, comparing the original cable the probe came with and the solderable PCB. They are identical.

I used the image on Linux cnc download page

And below it said use raspi imager,

WooHoo - It started right up!

Thanks a bunch.

The boards plug directly together without a cable. I’m using a standard Ethernet cable.

You could go with a more precision type of homeswitch like a metrol or something
Or do what real cnc machines do, and set the home using the encoder index channel
