Is there a proper G code line for homing x,y,z.  How do I configure softlimits, or do I need to.

That worked, thanks Chip.

How do I set configurations for homing x,y,z, with this setup...? What is the proper G code commands for this?

I've got the limit switches working in series, but if I engage one with my machine, how do I configure the software to move off the LS.  Soft limits or what.  Also how do I show my configuration page on the forum?

I GOT EVERYTHING WORKING. BUT THE RESET COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 30 TO 45 SECS.

WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT TO HAPPEN.

Thanks, I'll try that.  I'm not at the location now, but will try later the afternoon.

Sorry, to be so much trouble

When I enable any axis, other than Home, active state check or unchecked, I can not reset from the screen.  Even with nothing wired.

With the switches enabled, can not reset.  When I enable (Axis Homes), I can reset, but if I enable anything else, I can not reset.  The breakout board measures +5 volts at pin 12 and ground.

This action on the reset is the same, with or without LSwitches involved.

Without any limits switches wired to the breakout board, with All homes enabled, I can reset from the screen.  When I enable any other, I can't reset.  With the l-switches, wired or unwired, when I enable any axis ++ or --, I can't reset.  I tried just wiring in one (1) NC switch.  The reset action did not change.  Even if I had no limit switches, once I enable any axis + or -, even with or without (active low/high), the reset action is the same, can't reset.

I have a parallel port breakout board, Probotix, switches are wire to NC.
