I put some tape on either motor coupler and ran Y homing from different start positions, very slowly and absolutely confirmed this working in action. I've now squared the CNC, by adjusting one of the sensors until my dial gauge read the same from one end of the linear rail to the other, when sliding it along a square. It's probably not perfect, but it should do for now, at least as proof to myself that I can do it this way.

Notably, I also had to up my idle motor currents a little so it wouldn't go back out of square when they timed out. That's the I value on M906, where you set your motor amps.

@jrow nevermind. Had to flip the signal and ground wires on the other one for some reason.

Actually come to think of it, what would be the cost of manufacturing boards with these additional components instead? Is this something that could be achieved at a low rate of production with a pick and place, or via a PCB service?
