Combine all Home and LImit switches

Ok, will do.

I have been enlightened.. while axis 0 is homing axis 2 will "see" the limit so you have to use the axis 0 is homing to block the limit to axis 2 and the other way around when axis 2 is homing.

You will have to do this in you hal file. If you used the StepConf Wizard you can put it in the custom.hal file so it won't be over written by the Wizard the next time you run it.

The first thing you want to do is read this short bit about hal

www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/hal_basic_hal.html

Next take a look a the motion hal component and you will see axis.N.homing is TRUE if the joint is currently homing.

www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/man/man9/motion.9.html

So you can use that to block the other axis from seeing the limit switch input with xor2.

www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/man/man9/xor2.9.html

So your changes might look like this for axis 0

net home-all <= paraport.0.pin-10-in
net homing-x xor2.0.in0 <= axis.0.homing
net home-all xor2.0.in1
net limit-to-z xor2.0.out => axis.1.neg-lim-sw-in axis.1.pos-lim-sw-in
net home-all => axis.0.home-sw-in

What the xor does is if both the inputs are true the output is false. If only one input is on the output is true.

Of course you will have to repeat for axis 2 using a second xor2.
