Which I find, once done, cannot be repeated as the sim home switch is still closed. The backtrace shows strange motions, so I probably do not have all the search and latch vels in the ini with the proper signs. The z for instance searches to the right till it hits the "switch", then litterally snaps at C speed to an equally negative position to do the latch_vel search. The X in turn, backs toward the switch. then snaps at C speed to a position that mirrors the the trip point, but on the other side of the limit line & then searches inward. Probably a number sign error on my part. But once done, it leaves that phantom switch closed, so it cannot be repeated without a shutdown and restart. But I think today, that I will go out to the real machine, drill & tap into the back of the bed, and move the switch for Z to a position where it will be closed as the chuck jaws are approached rather than opened at that point, that way it will be left in a both switches open state 95% of the time. > Cheers, Gene Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
