Stepper Gantry basic configurations using gantrykins.

gantry.ini has no home switches

This configuration is a stepper based configuration for a gantry type of device using independent
Y axis steppers on the gantry. When this configuration is started you will be in joint mode and 
each axis can be jogged independently. This allows you to square up the gantry to match marks 
then home each joint. Once this is completed switch to world mode before trying to jog the gantry.

gantry-hs.ini has home switches for each joint

This configuration is just like gantry.ini with the addition of home switches. Homing is done in joint 
mode. It is very important for gantries is to set initial home switch positions before first homing 
so they reach home switches at a very similar time. To remove any skewing on the gantry adjust of home offset of one joint.
