In the pin settings and it's wired like this www.probotix.com/diagrams/4-Axis_ProboStep_wiring_diagram.pdf

Try...
Machine
Show Hal configuration
pins
Axis
0 (for x axis)
or
1 (for y axis)
or
2 (for z axis) etc.
Select the tab "Watch"
look for
neg-lim-sw-in
pos-lim-sw-in
Now toggle your limit switch by hand and check to make sure that there is a response.

Ok tried the halmeter in watch but because I can't get the machine to turn on ( in program) it has. Nothing to watch . But I think I might have my problem but I still need some help after reading and reading I think my #'s in the table size limit #'s are messing me up but I can't understand how to make it right with making it wrong !!!!
First my z axis is 5" of travel so I set it as 2.5 to -2.5 , limit on top is at 2.4 but I want my home off the top limit so that needs to be 2.4 right . Now in the doc's it said I can't have the value the same but it's set up as both limits and home .
X axis is 13" total travel so I set it up as 6.5 to-6.5 , limits at .5 off both sides so 6.0 and -6.0 and limit on the -6.0 side again using both limits and home setting ?
Y is 16" so 8.0 to -8.0 with limits .25 in on that so 7.75 to -7.75 with home at the -7.75
What have I done I just want setup and I can't get how I should set the home different with the limit when it's same switch
