Is this what I need?

2k 1/2w resistor

I hook this up between the power side and the output side of my switch?

I used these: www.arrow.com/en/products/rs01a2k000jb12/vishay

Rodw used a circuit board for his, but I just soldered mine in as a T-splice to the sensor wire before it gets to the input pin. Page 7 of Norbert's holy gospel of 7i76e configuration has a schematic: forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/3191...t?limitstart=0#83622

I checked my notes.I used 2.2 k ohms, 1 W on a 24 volt system.
I always intended to use a board as I had so many switches on the gantry it was convenient to use a DB9 cable and distribute to terminal blocks so I had the room to add the resistors which made it real easy to implement.

Finally found a photo



I added a LED to show I had power to the gantry for troubleshooting
Each of the 7 sensors connects to its own 3 input terminal block.
One switch was an ordinary microswitch so no resistor on that one.

I can not home my Y.

Is there anything you can see that is wrong?

I think you are missing the homing sequence settings inyour ini file for each joint

Here is mine with homing switches so just check the docs I linked to earlier for your immediate homing.
Code:
HOME_OFFSET = 43 HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -100 HOME_LATCH_VEL = 10 HOME_FINAL_VEL = 50 HOME_USE_INDEX = NO HOME_SEQUENCE = -1
