From the 2.1 Release notes:
This also applies to BSL- and EZ2 machines, not only EZ3.
I’ve just tested this on the Omni X and can confirm that jogging the Z-Axis from the device settings is working. (It’s on “Motor 2” in the Device Settings.)
The Omni X does not appear to have a limit switch, and I’m not sure we know the commands to use the distance sensor’s data, so Homing won’t work yet.
This will be needed to implement an autofocus feature, which will be next.
Therefore, at this point, it doesn’t offer any advantages over the up/down buttons on the device itself.
