General Mach Discussion / Re: Home Switch Sensitivity Problem

Just an FYI.
I could not get the debounce setting to work with the prox switches I was using. The switches had a 4mm range and I couldn't set the debounce high enough to get it to back off far enough without it hitting the switches because they were inline with the metal that makes them. Rather than re-align the switches with new mounts, I opted for mechanical plunger switches. All is good with them.
The debounce setting is a nice idea but it causes a lag in the axis recognition of the switch as well as the stop of it's reverse away from the switch. That's not good if the switch is in a position that interferes with that particular axis of travel. It tends to release the magic smoke from said switches.
