Now I have the motor tuning sorted out and here is my next problem...

I am using hostmot2 and trying to use index and home switch. My setup is 
as follows:
hm2 configuration:
loadrt driver=hm2_pci config="firmware=hm2/5i20/SV12.BIT num_encoders=6 
num_pwmgens=6 num_stepgens=0"

net xinex-en axis.0.index-enable 
hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.index-enable
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.counter-mode 0
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.filter 1
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.index-invert 0
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.index-mask 0
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.encoder.05.index-mask-invert 0


My axis homing settings are as follows:
HOME = 230
HOME_OFFSET = 230
HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 30.000000
HOME_LATCH_VEL = -1.000
HOME_USE_INDEX = YES
HOME_SEQUENCE = 0
note I am using millimeters.

Watching GPIO 28 with halmeter I can see the index so the hardware is 
working correctly, going TRUE when the index is active.
When I home, it appears to ignore the index completely. The machine hits 
the home switch, backs off then stops almost immediately when the switch 
breaks, ignoring the index.
Watching axis.0.index-enable with halmeter I see it go TRUE for a moment 
when the switch releases then almost immedaitely FALSE again.
