FE
FUNCTION: Find Edge
DESCRIPTION:
The FE command moves a motor until a transition is seen on the homing input for that axis. The
direction of motion depends on the initial state of the homing input (use the CN command to
configure the polarity of the home input). Once the transition is detected, the motor
decelerates to a stop.
This command is useful for creating your own homing sequences.
ARGUMENTS: FE nnnnnnnn
where
n is A,B,C,D,E,F,G or H or any combination to specify the axis or axes

Hint: Find Edge only searches for a change in state on the Home Input. Use FI (Find Index) to search for
the encoder index. Use HM (Home) to search for both the Home input and the Index. Remember to specify
BG after each of these commands.
