    Why do you say they work? Do they work on the diagnostics screen?

    Homing problem - Good question

    I have the same problem on a laser cutter. X and Y limit switches both work and show up in the diag screen correctly. I have home configured to use the same limit switches. When I home it, the axis just goes to the mech stops like it dose not recognized the limit/home switch.
