Is it possible on some future release of K40 Whisperer to control the speed in which it homes on initialize? And/or maybe home X first and then Y second as another feature? I would like to slow my K40 down a little.
@Scorch can comment if I am getting something wrong, but I think the homing is built into the M2Nano firmware and not something that K40 Whisperer can override.
So anything firmware related cannot be accessed, correct?
That is correct.

MeerK40t has something like this. While the home is directly on the card. You can do a return to origin at specific speeds. Unlike Whisperer, MeerK40t makes a point to track the current location. So it knows where 0,0. If you set the rapid_maximum, and added an Origin command to the end of the job. You would return to origin without exceeding the speed constraints. It literally makes a job to move the laser to 0,0 with the requested speeds.
This feature exists generally because sometimes people used Rotaries and they could not move along the y-axis very fast since it was rotating an object or whatever.
