I like that sturdy cast base they put this lathe on. You are making a really nice job on that retrofit.

There is a rule of thumb on electrical panels size. They always look 50% too large when you start, and turn out to be 20 % too small

I just got native homing working with an A6 servo the other day.  I have a system with mixed servo drives (two StepperOnline T7 (aka LeadShine EL7) and one StepperOnline A6).  I had to make some custom mods to both the cia402 and custom homecomp components.

Nothing is really documented aside for some sparse comments, so apologies for that.   I can vouch that these modules do work together for homing on an A6 when configured right.  The components are here:

For reference, this homecomp is based originally on the one from marcoreps, not Rod's.

The LinuxCNC config that has the A6 configured on the Z axis is here.  You might want to check out the .ini, .hal and the .xml for hints.
