Using ESS Ethernet, Gecko 540 with Mach v0.62... when I use the ESS homing/limits I get a "Exceeded Soft Limit" warning on Mach after homing. Happens on X,Y & Z axis. Played with the ESS homing settings but still get the exceeded limits warning. If I uncheck "Use this configuration" on the ESS homing config page (reverting back to Mach homing routine) no warning message.
The ESS homing works ok except for the warning message.
Any ideas?

Without looking at your Mach 3 profile my guess would be that the ESS is exceeding the soft limits when it is trying to home, probably because it is going a little too far in the -Axis direction. I always set the soft limits to something like -0.1" or so. That way when homing you can go past zero a little ways to find the home sensor.
