OK so it looks like the hardware works.

When testing you should have a halshow WATCH tab setup like this:

Attachment not found

When you set b-index-enable true (yellow) with the "Set" button, it
should go false (red) when you move the encoder past the index position.

Can you post you current hal file?

This really makes no sense.

It sounds like either some basic error in the hal file or a
continuously changing index signal

Also: Is the encoder position cleared to 0 when you set b-index-enable?

setp [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.index-enable true

This is wrong and should be removed

Also: Is the encoder position cleared to 0 when you set b-index-enable?
(set in the halshow:watch tab)

so I tested it and switched the red button to yellow. and it turned red at the same position when I turned my encoder.

OK that means that index is working as expected, so if homing
to index fails, its likely a homing setup issue.

what do you mean by a configuration problem, in a .hal file?

Homing configuration is in both the hal file (index and home switch handling) and the ini file
(type of homing, directions, speeds etc)
