As part of a pick & place project I'm working on, I have
implemented a userspace component to establish a
home location using a USB video camera.  My python
component gives me two pins.  "Located" is a bit that
is true when the registration target is identified in the frame.
"Offset" is x-distance from the registration target to the
home position.  I'm using the OpenCV library to perform
the machine vision algorithm.

I would like to implement a homing sequence that moves
until the "Located" bit goes true, then moves directly by
the amount indicated by the "Offset" value.  The conventional
homing sequences don't support such a method.  This would
seem a bit more analogous to an absolute encoder (at least
once the target has been located).  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
