    Homing switches working...sort of.

    I have home swtiches NC on the X,Y,Z axis, and when I push them individually I see the corresponding LEDs lit up in the diagnostic page. However, they do not trigger a stop. What am I missing?

    You have to configure them as Limit switches as well as Home switches.
    When configured as Home switches, they only function during Homing.
