Homing an axis moves away from home switch!

Does the machine have separate homing and limit switches?
If yes, the home_latch_velocity is set reversed, so add or remove - in front of the value.

Can you post the ini and hal files.

Why is LinuxCNC so stupid?

You are not helping yourself with comments like this.

As said already. Post the ini and hal files

I don't understand why it does not work with just the stepconf config.

Why does it move away from zero and toward 20 while homing????!!!

1. because you told it so.
2. it is not.
3. because you told it so.

Try changing "home latch direction" in StepConf for each axis that needs it.

Boot into Ubuntu, mount the linuxcnc partition and bingo you have access to the files.

But if you can’t do that what’s more annoying, copying the files or not being happy with your machine ?

If you want to be helped you need to provide the info.

Without the info it’s hard to impossible for those helping and you don’t get the answers you require.

Why are you still whinging ?

The settings are in the ini and hal files

Just post them

LinuxCNC should have some auto config option where you just let it run and it figures out where the home switchs are and everything.

To be able to do that for any of the huge variety of machines that LinuxCNC can control, it would require the software to be SENTIENT!!!
Nothing humanity can create can do that the way you think.
Try AI

Off topic:
AI = absolutely not artificial intelligence, not in the slightest, just the name being misused.
Same with:
Calling a liquid "GAS"
Calling "football" a sport that does not use feet.
Etc, etc.

You could sure make all of this SO much easier by simply providing the basic information you have been asked for.

I give up!

Is it okay to set it as just "Home X"?

Yes it is, granted you set the soft limits correctly in the wizard or in the ini file.
