You do not have any of the Home switches enabled in Ports and Pins and you dont have any port and pin assigned for them either.

Hi Hood, You were right so I enabled those switches with the correct ports and pins but still the limit lights in the diagnostic mode does not light up when pushed. I've enclosed a current xml file

Try using the automated setup of Inputs. Click the button in Ports and Pins. Inputs. Choose X Home and then trigger  the actual X Home switch and Mach should see it and set the correct pin, continue for the other home switches.

Has anyone installed Mach 3 with bobcad v26 and got them to work together?  Machine won't go home properly. Sorry I know enough about computers to get in trouble, and now I'm in trouble

Hood, I followed your directions i opened ports and pins, selected inputs  select the Home switch,hit auto set after i hit auto set it prompt me with Searching for Signal activation, and nothing happens, the next box says press switch or cancel.  theres no way to do anything without ok-ing when i check the switches on the diagnostic page they still don't light. what am I doing wrong.

I have configured mach 3 . In the diagnostics everything works as should. When I reference home z goes up Y comes to the limit X does not move at all. When the Y limit is met everything stops.
