A couple of idea regard endstops

fcwilt

Hi,

allow endstops at both axis min and max. It should be simple for the code to understand which endstop it is headed toward and react appropriately.
allow endstops to specify the value to set the axis position to when the endstop is triggered, rather than just using the axis min/max setting. This would involve an optional additional parameter which would take a number specifying the position to apply when the endstop is triggered.

Why #2:

My endstops are rarely located such that when they trigger the axis is actually at the axis min/max position. Thus I have to add some additional code to the homing files to adjust for this. It would be grand to just specify in the M574 where the axis actually is when the endstop triggers.

Thanks for listening.

@fcwilt use g92 to set a position other than the min/max axis limit

I can do that sometimes. But when the endstop is past the min/max limit that causes its own issues.

Thanks.
