    homing problem in Mach3 with slave axes

    I changed my limit switches to industive (from magnetic) and ready to have them work.
    I see them in Mach3 working fine.
    A is slave to Y. If moving towards Y-- the limit triggers stop the gantry as normal. But when homing, the A and Y do wrong stuff.

    X homes ok, comming off the limit.
    But while Y remains in the right place after homing, A is moving backwards to bend the gantry.

    I tried several solution including the oriuginal Ref All Home button config, and also the RefCombination (10) but no success.

    I have the same configuration as Mikeee, with A slave to Y.
    I tried to modify the Ref All Home button,and made the following:

    DoButon (22) ' s ref for X, at least behaves like this
    RefCombination( 10) ' this is supposed to home Y and A

    but the behaviour is wrong again.... Y remains in position while A goes back and bends the gantry.

    Do i do anythoing wrong here?

    thanks

    Have you got A setup just like Y in the homing and limits? If it is homing wrong on A, then click the reverse homing there.
