From the attached log:
HAL: ERROR: signal 'spindle-vel-cmd-rpm' not found
Otherwise there is no useful info in that attachment .
To check the limit switches, start LinuxCNC and watch the DRO while tripping the limit switches manually, check if the limit switch on say X axis triggers the arrow on screen to the left of the X axis position.

There is only 1,2,3,4 in DRO section and if I tapping on switch there is nothing happens on DRO screen.
In HAL Configuration it's shown joint0-3.home-sw-in's are signalling while taping.

Here is how preview screen looks like after homing attempt: X and Z homing successfully and set to home pos. Y started to home, Y1 hit limit and stop. Y2 hit limit but goes further.

That points to incorrect settings in hal and/or miss wired switches in hal.
Hal and ini files ?

That can offer uncover something

here is log with -v run from terminal.

From run Home all, home X&Z, stuck on Y hit e-stop after.


You are in joint mode for some reason based on your homing screen dump. You cannot home Y in joint mode.
Could you remove the "kinstype=b" I do not have it in my config. Mine is a very original config based on 2.8 and if it was present, It caused issues becasue the GUIs at that time could not deal with it.

Also, I would eliminate all warnings and errors from your log. I have a feeling GEOMETRY=XYZ may need to be XYYZ but the docs are inconclusive. There have been a number of changes to behaviour since I set up my machine. Try that and see if it removes the warning.

Thank you.
fixed error with missing signal, remove GEOMETRY (Geometry has no effect without a rotary axis) - won't helped

as I said before remove or adding kinstype=b or BOTH won't do much - XZ, with parameter I see 4 joints, and without i see 3 axis. Homes in both modes same. One of the Y axis trying to go way way after limit. Log is slightly different without kinstype=b (attached log of run both options with kinstype and without).

BTW there is an option in GUI - view axis mode/world mode. I guess after homing gui shall show axis instead of joints.

Also done one thing - take old config and changed home switch input from another Y axis - homes and works exactly fine.
