General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach ignoring limit switch broke my machine :(

So it is all done now. Working like a charm. No more limit crashing ever! My override button works perfect and everything. I must have been thinking ahead, because I had 3 extra terminal blocks open to do everything and I had already labeled all the home switch wires I was not using
So, now when you turn off soft limits and jog z above home, then hit a reference all, Z will travel up and hit the limit. Mach ignores it (which is dumb), but it overrides everything and kills the drives anyway.
The only thing is, mach never thinks it went into an E-stop or anything happened and the Z numbers just climb forever unless you hit the E stop. It still thinks it is moving Z. Not a big deal, but if anyone knows a way to force it to acknowledge it has stopped, I am open to making it so it does know it was stopped.
