I'll try to explain this. If I home posiitive and push the switch that the machine would hit in the negative direction it will work and vis versa. Seems like I need to reverse the switches? I'm I making any since?

Set the debounce to 2000 and one of the switchs on X will cause it to reverse and zero and the other switch wont even though they are basically wired to the same input (Mach shouldn't know the diferance between the two) The screwy thing is after the X resets the value of Y the changes for no reason.

When the x switch is hit the DRO keeps running because it is waiting to be released. But since the axis is not reversing it is not being release.

I don't think its the switch. When I home and hold the y switch down it reverses the direction and zeros the axis when I let go. In X when I manually hold the switch down it just stops and never reverses direction.

I am setting up a new KX1 mill. The Y axis homes properly by hitting the switch and backing off but the X hits the switch and stops with no backing off. Help!
