Add external switch for homing X axis

From physical side connect it to the input module.

cia402.hal file must me modified as follows.

#   signal    source            destination          destination
net x-home-switch <= lcec.0.1.din-0
net x-home-switch => joint.0.home-sw-in

Using the command net we create a connection between asignal and one or more pins. To check status of pin: Machine > Show Hal Configuration

Then navigate through the tree menu: Pins > lcec > 0 > 1
