I agree, the only time I have found denounce really useful with a limit-switch, was to compensate for a failing cable with an intermittent short (until I can find a round-tuit to replace the cable).

Were here to help you man. I was not offended at all. You are falling into a trap that many people seem to do when working with a new setup. I have a golden rule that says - "One thing at a time" Change and fix one thing at a time and start with the most obvious problem. Always measure the result of your change. And dont move on until you have found an answer for that particular problem. Oh and you know the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result every time. Use the "Show Hal Configuration" function under the machine menu to look at the physical condition of the limit inputs to make sure that they are in the correct startup condition that you expected. Put a watch on them and change the switches on by one to see that they all do as you expected. Unless you have a lot of noise on your system, the debounce is normally not required.
