Dual Stepper Axis

When configuring an axis that needs 2 linked stepper channels, is it possible to use a limit switch for each and home them independently so that you can correct for any skew that happens if the steppers go out of sync when powered off?

No, we do not have that capability.

Is it possible to request that feature? Seems like all the hardware is there to do it, it would only require some software tweaks, and this would be huge.

Yes,

We keep a list of bug reports and feature enhancement requests on our github repository. You can submit a feature request by clicking "New Issue" at the following link. I think you will have to create an account on github to do this.
