The PnP software I'm playing with (openpnp) is hardcoded such that Z=0 to clear the PCB and components. I don't have much of an option at this point.
Haven't heard of PyVCP but looking it up now. Seems like it will create it's own app (or panel). That might be a good thing actually, but for simplicity for now, is there a way to set the .ini file params so that it does this with the existing Home All button? Thanks.
