On my setup using Emc2 Version 2.1.3, I originally had the X axis homing 
on the positive (right hand) limit switch. It worked flawlessly.
 My ini file for it was:

MIN_LIMIT = -13.2
MAX_LIMIT=  13.2
HOME_OFFSET = 13.2
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 1.0
HOME_LATCH_VEL = 0.05
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1

I tried using the negative (left hand) limit switch for homing and the 
table would march right on past the left limit switch without stopping 
even though the indicator showing X position on the Axix display popped 
up a flag (arrow). Believing my ini file was in error, I tried various 
settings and still got the same result.  Here is what my settings were 
for homing on the negative switch:

MIN_LIMIT = -13.2
MAX_LIMIT=  13.2
HOME_OFFSET = -13.2
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -1.0
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.05
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO
HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 1

Is there a bug in the program?
