A component to simulate home and limit switches ## SYNOPSIS **loadrt sim\_axis\_hardware \[count=*N*\|names=*name1*\[,*name2...*\]\]** ## DESCRIPTION This component creates simulated home and limit switches based on the current position.\ It currently can supply simulation for X, tandem X, Y, tandem Y, Z, U, V, and A axes. ## FUNCTIONS - **sim-axis-hardware.***N***.update** (requires a floating-point thread) ## PINS - **sim-axis-hardware.*N*.Xcurrent-pos float in** The current position on the axis - eg connect to joint.0.motor-pos-fb -
