No, put manually the other joints, it can be up to 9, my tenth joint is controled via m-code I need only two positions and just work fine

Except that you are asking how to home the joint.
This is easy to do with extrajoints, but not so easy when you are using something like limit3
You could write a HAL component that applies an offset to the command position, and learns that offset when given a homing command.
You could also do this with existing HAL components, using a mux2 as a latch triggered by the home switch state changing. (But more logic would be needed to. You probably need to create a HAL signal to store the homed state, for example, to operate the mux, you can sets that to 0 when doing the homing move.

That would be perfect to get homed, latch and the value to be 0.
Im fresh in linuxcnc. If I connect a signal to an input of stepgen I can't put the signal to zero because the signal has own writer (input of stepgen) and I can't put that value into 0 because is not writable.
Don't know if makes sense.
any question go ahead

This is why you would need a mux2 component:
You cannot assign a signal or pin 2 or more different values, that doesn't make sense.
What you can do is drive the stepgen pin with the output of a mux2 component
The mux2 is basically a SPDT selector switch that selects between 2 inputs depending on the "sel" input
man mux2

Also, a mux2 with the output looped back to the input can be used as a sample-and-hold component to store an offset.
<thinks>I really should make an alternative to the existing int-only sample-and-hold component to avoid this silliness.
