Yet another controller board

Good idea, the requirements are different from a CNC machine where you prefer to have each axis homed individually so as not to distrubt each other when the end stop is tripped. In a motion rig you need to think about the person sitting in the chair whilst homing.

Yes, under normal conditions you only have to execute the homing once per session when you switch the controller on for the first time. We have the main switch outside, at the control cabinet at the rear of the rig. So nobody sits in the cockpit. But if you have to recover from an emergency stop, power failure or any other type of error condition you should also be able to execute the homing while sitting in there.

Yesterday, we installed the controller with the new 3D printed casing. The ratsnest of wires hasn't got much better but it looks a bit cleaner and is at least safe to operate.

The improved homing procedure also works quite well. The controller currently has no online/offline switch but instead cross fades the position automatically from the parking position to the center position when FlyPT Mover connects. This folows the rule "make it as simple as possible". But probably a door switch would be even better. The rig would then go down to the parking position automatically when the door is opened without the need to flip a sepearte switch or to disconnect the Movoer output.
