Title: X and Y axis homing in the wrong direction
Post by: ElderMartin on December 09, 2020, 12:06:27 PM

My X axis switch is on the far left as facing the machine, and my Y axis switch is at the front.  So I want them to home in the negative direction for the axis. 

The Z axis switch is the opposite.  I have it set so it stops the spindle from going too high, thus the positive direction. 

The Z axis homes properly for what I want, but the X and Y go the opposite direction that I want them too, that is, also in the positive like the Z axis.

How do I make my X and Y home in the negative direction, that is, to the left?

You can set the homing direction in the 'Homing/SoftLimits' tab in the Control Configuration. It is the first column

Thank you!  I must be blind.
