They run (for example) turning.ngc as soon as you press the "run"
button. There is no G-code generated.

Hi Andy,
I am trying to use the macros you wrote. It seems to work in axis, and
tried the turning macro.
I just picked some numbers and hit the "play" button and I saw these
messages:

Hello all,
I set up the switches an "Home X" and "Home Z". in axis, the button
for homing an axis changes to "HomeAll",
That gives me the impression that it would home the lathe 'automatically' ?
The switches are positioned so that if both were triggered the cross
slide would be as

Yes, the limit switch can be set up to also be taken as the
home switch. But, you need

Unless I am understanding this wrong, I figured an axis
would travel there and when it hits it thinks "I am home" ?

well, the X and Z axis only have one limit switch, which pretty much

Hi Matt,
yes, pretty much. since if I use it as a "homing device", it won't go
past there anyway.
So yes, I think that is what I'd want it to do, use it as home input

In the case of the lathe it's pretty easy if you have the following config
wich is the one I'm using:

I think the question you’re asking is how to use the limit switch as a home
input. On my bridgeport mill, a single limit switch trips on the min and max
limits. I also use this for home. I do this by assigning the same hardware
pin to axis.0.home-sw-in (or axis.1, axis.2, etc)

Hello Ron,

any soft limit (hardware limit). Whenever a limit switch is triggered the

Hello,
I am trying to configure the limit switches in linuxcnc, I think I can
use them as home switches too.
The switches get tripped, when teh cross slide is as close to the chuck
as it can be and as close to the user/operator as possible.
I have it setup so that for example the
