That is how I have been running it. But, when you do that, it will not limit the Z+ travel and can allow a crash. The issue is I want to Home Z+ but I also want to limit it. All the other limit switches are combined into a limit input. If you configure the soft limits this should not be an issue un...

I...

Your last reply triggered an idea.... I set up the Z+ switch to home. I set a software positive travel limit to .05". Now if you try to jog past the home switch more than .05, it will limit. That functions the way I want. I don't know that it's as safe as a hard switch, but it might be fine. Th...
