Is there a way to use an external "home" switch and send the signal to where the read head home switch is connected? (bypassing the read head home switch)

Automation Direct sells all kinds of limit switches that aren't too terribly expensive. I was thinking something like this:

Your thinking like us We called Unico and asked if there was a way to trick the drive by supplting a pulse at the right moment (it's not that crfitical really) and they claim there is not...but I'm with you, it's looking for a signal of some type so why can't we just manufacture it? I'll call them again today. Thanks

And we use Automation Direct all the time, great company!
