    The new NextDraw plotters look very nice!

    How does the Auto-Home feature work? (photo-sensor? stepper-counter?)

    Is there a software/cli command to say “Auto-home”

    Is it possible to retro-fit NextDraw’s Auto-Home to older Axidraws?

    Thanks! -Cliff

    PS – will this forum move from EMS to Bantam?

    Sorry for the very slow reply– there isn’t much activity here (hasn’t been for a few years), and we’re likely to freeze the forums soon. Our primary support “forum” for the past few years has been our discord server, which is now rebranded as the Bantam Tools discord server: https://bantam.tools/chat

    The homing switch is a basic limit switch. There isn’t an official upgrade path because of how the mounting features are set up, but I imagine that you might be able to add your own. If you’d like to talk about that, let’s follow up by email.
