FE
FUNCTION:
Find Edge
DESCRIPTION:
The FE command moves a motor until a transition is seen on the homing input for that axis.
The direction of motion depends on the initial state of the homing input (use the CN
command to configure the polarity of the home input). Once the transition is detected,
the motor decelerates to a stop.
This command is useful for creating your own homing sequences.
ARGUMENTS:

X,Y,Z,W specify XYZ or W axis. No argument specifies all axes.

Hint: Find Edge only searches for a change in state on the Home Input. Use FI (Find Index) to
search for the encoder index. Use HM (Home) to search for both the Home input and the Index.
Remember to specify BG after each of these commands.
