XY single belt (FRAME=2) Homing?

XY single belt (FRAME=2) Homing?

This frame is very simple. X movement causes axes 0 and 1 to move in the same direction. Y movement causes axes 0 and 1 to move in opposite directions.

In FRAME 0 you can make a move in X by MOVE(distance, distance)
You can make a move in Y by MOVE(distance, -distance)

So with that combination you should be able to postion the X and Y towards their home sensors.

MOVE(-distance, distance)
