The SchechtlSigmatek305 configuration was created to have Pathfinder V5 communicate with a 5226 board so it could control a Schecthl machine with a Sigmatek 305. The 5226 is needed instead of the usual drop in replacement 5223 board because of hardware needed.

On the second install using this new configuration some new information about the clamp limits and referencing were found. When referencing with the 5226 controls the clamp tries to find the home switch that is usually found in a place where the clamp is closed. When attempting to do this it seemed like the clamp really had to drive through to what seemed like a unnecessary clamped position. This made it seem like this switch was more a position limit switch. When asking around it was found out that the previous Schecthl controls would reference to the upper limit switch.

The change then was made to make the home limit input a lower clamp limit input and make the referencing direction up. So when referencing the clamp will now move up and use the upper limit switch as its home switch. When not referencing that switch will be used as a position limit switch and stop the clamp.

Another change made was to remove all of the closed loop generic parameters for the Backgauge since its algorithm is open loop.

Previous changes had included validation that required max gripper offset to be larger than minimum gripper offset. It became apparent that allowing them to be set to the same value is useful, and the validation has been relaxed to allow it.
