After parts (motors, reduction gear units, battery, etc.) have been replaced or the robotic arm
has hit the workpiece, the origin of the Dobot M1 will be changed. You need to operate the homing
procedure after resetting the origin.
Dobot M1 has installed homing switches near the J1, J2 and J3 limitation position respectively.
When the Dobot M1 moves to the limited position with a signal triggered by the homing switch, the
Dobot M1 will move backward at low speed and then stop moving after separating from the homing
switch, which indicates that the Dobot M1 has moved to the homing point. At the same time, an
alarm about limitation is generated, you need to jog the Joint to clear the alarm.
NOTICE
Only the Dobot M1 of which SN number is DT2118xxxxx and later numbers has
installed the homing switch. If not, this procedure is not supported.
