Hall sensor not working on homing

@DoESLiverpool/laser-maintenance This seems to be an intermittant fault, but marking as broken because of the potential damage to the machine

If anyone has an idea as to if there is an issue with the sensor? I think it's either the sensor or the speed, as it's not sending the response quick enough to stop? if no one has a quick solution, I may replace the bracket for a more steady one as a temporary workaround.

Update: @magman2112 looked at this on maker night - still need to debug whether it's software settings or a sensor issue

I’ve had another look at this on tonight’s Maker Night and found that the hall sensor for the x-min ids not working at present. I have reversed connections with the x-max sensor so that Gerald can now be homed.

Further diagnostic work is needed to see if this is an actual faulty sensor or a fault in the cabling somewhere, but that’s for another night.

Closing all issues related to Gerald as this machine is now out of commission and will hopefully find a new home soon.
