I have a smoothstepper and homing is working fine for XYZ Axis but on my C Axis, after it homes, it backs off just a tad and leaves the home switch acivated.
I can watch the Home LED and when it backs off the C I never see the LED go off.  C is a large rotary axis so it takes numerous steps to back off.
BTW, It's an optical interruptor switch H21A1.

Is there a fix for this other than me editing each and everyone of my Home Button Scripts for all my screens?

Try setting a small filtering value in the SS config, maybe the min of 1.43.

Could you just connect a wire to simulate the switch and home that axis keeping the switch open/closed after it has been triggered to see if Mach continues to reverse off the imaginary switch. That would at least let you know if its a Mach/SS issue or a noise issue.
