In theory... once you tell it to go past the stop, you would think it should just stop.
That is not the case. Some angles have a twitch and some do not. More is not better. If you use this approach, find the specific angle where you go past the travel limit, but it doesn't twitch!
Also, I made it so that the when my switch gets pressed, it is slightly offset from where the probe rotates up above it. That causes the probe leg to press gently against the stop as each point is probed.
