Homing
Homing is the process of determining a consistent starting point. This allows for accurate motion to specific points in your work space.
The Homing process will normally zero the position at either your target or a designated offset of your choosing.
Homing allows for incremental encoders to be used in place of absolute encoders.
We recommend Drive Based Homing or Custom Homing. (AKD Drive Based Homing is one Custom Homing type)
