Ok, then change it back and now try the debounce.
I think this hal file should work.

1 step closer, thanks
With youe Hal file it homed Z (1st in sequence) but Z stayed sitting on the home switch then when X tried to home it just over ran past the switch. When I backe Z off the switch and tried to home only X it started searching in the wrong direction,

If an axis is on the wrong side of a home switch, Linuxcnc has no way to know that, and will always search for home in the same direction. So the operator always mus make sure that the axis is on the right side before starting a home sequence.
First you need to make sure that each axis jogs in the correct directions (Z+ goes up, X+ to the right, and Y+ away from front, assuming a moving head and not a moving table).
If those are right then it is simply changing the signs of the home velocities to get them going the right way.
To get your Z (or any of the others) to move off the home switch, you may need to adjust the home offset and or home position. in the ini file.

I got everything to home and moving the right directions. I tried to run a warmup program i still had on the thumbdrive and it wouldnt rue "exceeds limits" so i tried to edit it within Axis, but the editor wouldnt bring it up. Is there a known bug with the editor now, is there another program I can use to edit the .ngc?

If your using Debian Sneezy then you need to install gedit or use the horrible mousepad...
In a terminal do the following to install gedit.

And on to the next problem
the "controller" will just randomly power everything down. Like i pressed F2, Can be moving along and click, off' When this happens I have to switch off and on my E-stop/ main power for Axis to allow me to power on (F2) again.

Kate is another good editior , imho better than gedit
check for any auto off functions or hard drive shutdown
it may be motor noise being picked up on your inputs for example , or any leads longer than needed etc , or even a bad connector
