Thanks to those who offered some suggestions on the facebook group.
I'm not having much luck getting my home switches working. I've likely got something simple set wrong, would appreciate if someone could take a look at my files and offer some suggestions.
XY and Z switches are connected and show in HAL config, both under the 7i77 input pins and the home switch section. Light up when triggered as I would expect they should.
When I hit the home all button the axis I have set as 0 heads off looking for the switch but doesn't do anything when it's triggered. The axis just keeps on trucking until it hits the limit switch. Limit switches aren't connected to the 7i77, just the drives.

try this:

Change
net x-home-sw => joint.0.home-sw-in
to
to net x-home => joint.0.home-sw-in

Check what the names of the pins in the hal show

Thank you, that was it. Correct format was home-x, y, z. Can't believe I was staring at the answer the whole time. I must have checked those input names against each other 5 times and never picked up that they were different.

I didn't even know that there _was_ a Facebook group.

Oh, I found it. But it is a real effort to get through all the forum and mailing lists. Adding Facebook (and Discord?) would leave me no time to eat or sleep.
