It sounds like either will work similarly. I don't have any free inputs to use for another home switch, so I'm going to hook them to the same input and run them through a toggle switch to select the mode I want to use.
Then I think I'll modify the post and make a tool setting for ohmic/touchoff. Then I can have a separete ohmic set of tools. I'll catch that setting in the post and use the correct homing code and offset. I could also do it with a custom post option and use the same tool set, haven't decided yet. Then I just have to flip the switch to activate the correct hardware and I should be good to go.
Looks like there is no need to run the Z-home switch through the feathertouch. It just goes through the limits wire to the EPO terminal.
