stepconf only gives a tiny, tiny subset of all the configurations that can be created through emc2's HAL. It sounds like your home switch configuration may be one that is not possible. You may be able to use custom.hal and/or inifile tweaks after stepconf has run to get the configuration you

Chris make sure you are up to version 2.2.2 There are some bugs in the wizard regarding home/limit switch setup. You may find it easier to just rewire the switches. The most simple configuration is to put all the homes on one pin and all the limits on another pin. Have a pull up resistor on
