Hi
When I tried to handle my cnc machine, trough the emc2 interface, I get this error message "joint 0 on limit switch error", so I don't understand why?, if my switch is not activated.
How do you configure it? or what I have to do to set in the interface the position of my physical limits?
I did configure my paralell port pins as in the next image. Thanks

Thanks a lot!, I fixed the problem succesfully but now I got another doubt because I want to home(ing?) in the negative direction of X and Y, and after invert some pins, always home goes to positive direction, Is that a problem of my workspace? or how to define it?

Ok, problem solved again, I appreciate your time to answer.
Just one more question, when I send to home my axis, my limit switch has to be pressed twice,in the first try, speed becomes slower and until the second try, my servo completely stops...but I need to homeing just with one try, Is it possible?

No, homing is always a fast move to home, then a slow move to find the switch accurately. This is so that it finds the home position accurately.
However, if you have three actual moves you can reduce it to two. This page should explain:
