Thank you
very much. Homing works just the way I want it now.
I agree completely about naming -- it's very important. I didn't realize HOME_OFFSET was an absolute location until I got this working -- the word "offset" implies "delta" to me, not "location".
As for the sign of HOME_SEARCH_VEL and HOME_LATCH_VEL, I've decided to try them with different signs, to eliminate the backoff step, as you suggest. There may be (probably is) a difference between where the switch closes and where it opens, but for my mill I'm sure it won't matter, for homing purposes.
My final X config is this. Y is identical, except HOME is 0, not 6, to keep the bed at maximum extension toward me.
MIN_LIMIT = -0.001
MAX_LIMIT = 12.0
HOME_IS_SHARED = 1
HOME = 6
HOME_OFFSET = 12.1
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = .2
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.015
HOME_FINAL_VEL = 0
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 2
