[sudo-discuss] laser cutter limit switch broken

[Jake]

i think it will allow you to jog left even if the switch is pressed.  i 
know it's dumb but i think it only looks at the switch when it is homing 
itself.  I could be wrong.

if not i can certainly bring a replacement but i'll have to see the old 
one first.  or check those plastic 3d printers from 3dsystems that are 
kicking around.
