Problem in limit + home pin setup pncconf 2.4.7

I am trying to set up my z limit to both (home and limit).

It appears that "Y BOTH LIMIT + HOME" appears twice in the selection list but "Z BOTH LIMIT + HOME" doesn't appear at all.

Also, on my spindle I use a two channel A + Z encoder rather than A + B + Z. Is there anyway to setup a simple counter + index in pncconf? Or do I have to do it manually?

Thanks,
Alan

it's a typo bug , which has been fixed for future versions

for now select the second y axis and it will be fine ( i.e as if it was z in the sequence )

for the encoder select just the A and index and it should work as intended
for spindle use

in your custom hal file add a line similar to this:

setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.04.counter-mode 1
I'm assuming your using a 5i20 and encoder 4 - change as needed.
If you change it in the custom HAL file pncconf should not overwrite it if you use pncconf again.

or find the same line in your machine named HAL file and change it from 0 to 1
pncconf will over write it if you use pncconf again.

I should add this option to the spindle page or mesa page... TODO
