Still not got the prox's yet but did set up the Index from the master and slaved drives and enabled Index Homing on the Y, and just used the one switch that is on one side of the Y.
I enabled the plugin to look at the difference between switches, now obviously there is no difference between the switches themselves as there is only one, however there is a difference between the Index so I was curious to see if it worked.
It did , it was -1.118 units and it went well when I homed I could just barely see the far side move back but it did. I then decided to make it -10.118 and homed again. This time I could clearly see the far side move back after the nearside had stopped but it was even more evident when I disabled the drives as this let the gantry jump back to its relieved position.
Here is a vid showing it.
