Probe Basic - ATC sim parameter question

Chris,

Yes, your flag arrangement is precisely what I normally do with limit sensors... but I've got a CNC lathe and banging out 18 round pins was a quick solution.

The unintended consequences didn't show up until well after I'd built everything.  Obviously, the square edge and flat surface, presented across the sensor field, is the way to go.

Regarding my earlier comments... I'm sure you'll put together an implementation guide, and including a giant warning about COUNTS mode and open-loop steppers would certainly go a long way to helping users avoid a crash.

Something else to jot down for your guide and modular ATC config: LCNC's (somewhat) recent addition of motion.misc-error.NN HAL component.

Since stepper/servo drives are not axes, the misc-error pins are exactly the right arrangement to permit an ATC drive motor error to trigger an estop event just like a stalled axis motor - especially in COUNTS mode where there's no feedback between the ATC's true position and LCNC.
