No, I have 4.001.031 - I updated the mach.exe file a few weeks ago when I was having issues with a dubious soft limit warning that I'm still have half the time.

Yes. Just tested. 24=z 23=y 22=x

And...uhhh....what??? Just guessing I would say no.

When I restart the brains are disabled, enabling them give that message but they work after. I'm connected to the controller via USB (Industry Controls MCB-1). See brain attached.

It's using three different inputs - on the diagnostics screen Z is M3Home, Y is M2Home, and X is M1Home, those are the LEDs that blink when the switches are hit. I'm only running one machine so no worries there.

I believe all the home switches are using separate pins. On the control board each axis has home/limit++/limit-- inputs if I remember correctly. If they were using the same pin how would it differentiate between them when it reaches one? I'll take a look at it in a little while.

Thanks, that did it regarding how I want it to work but I'm still getting the bad xml message even after renaming the file...

Tried that and it homes my Z and then my X moves (by itself) but goes past the home switch and trips the limit...?

I know I saw a thread about this not too long ago but I can't seem to find it...anyway, I'm trying to make my machine home Z first, then X and Y at the same time. Right now it does Z, then Y, then X; the script looks like this:

DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )

I've attached the brain I messing with, this is the last thing I tried, but not matter what I do I'm getting the same results - no manual control over the output once the brain is enabled. Could you give me and example of how to get it to only work if the condition is true and leave it alone when it's false? Any idea on the bad xml read message I'm getting?
