You will have to as part of your homing defining a home location that moves each axis off the switch before homing the next axis.

it it set like You said. After homing proces, switch is relased.

its look like this:

1. i only enable limit switches on one axis in HAL file (AXIS 0)
2. i got 4 switches connected together in row to one LPT pin

3. Axis 0 is homing perfect (here i have enabled limit switches)
4. When Axis 1 trigger limit switch program is stoped.

if I disable limit switch function in Axis 0, both Axis are homing good.

so i suspect i must include information in INI file, that i have all limit switches and homing switches of both axis connected in row to one LPT pin...

but i dont know how to do this ;/

i have: "HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES" in both axis

Monitor the input pin in Show Hal Configuration watch window while you home to see if it changes as you expect from on to off.

Also, HOME_IS_SHARED = 1 should be in each axis section.

i checked Hal Configuration, everything is changing in the way i expect it.

when base proces is running, when the first limit switch trips, all 4 pins change status:


net all-home => axis.0.neg-lim-sw-in
net all-home => axis.0.pos-lim-sw-in

net all-home => axis.2.neg-lim-sw-in
net all-home => axis.2.pos-lim-sw-in

maybe i should use some other function to provide limit switch after homing? :(

And I assume you also have in your ini

net all-home axis.0.home-sw-in
net all-home axis.2.home-sw-in


Which should work...

If you have a spare input try putting all the X axis on one pin and all the Z on the other... then you have something like:

net home-x <= paraport.0.pin-10-in
net home-x => axis.0.neg-lim-sw-in
net home-x => axis.0.pos-lim-sw-in
net home-x => axis.0.home-sw-in
