    Default Stepper motors not stopping when Home switches trip

    Hello!

    I just got my Home switches to work with G540 and Warp9 ESS.

    In Mach4 Diagnostics tab, X Home, Y Home and Z Home individually lights up, when their respective NPN sensors are tripped.

    However..

    That doesn't make the Steppers stop turning when the sensors are tripped.

    I should note that I haven't tried Ref all home, I have just tried jogging towards the end of the axes, but i notice that tripping the sensor does not prevent me from jogging further which it should, shouldn't it?

    Thanks for any help and regards!

    Actually. It works.

    When hitting "Ref All Home", It homes nicely.

    In my old system however, Both home switches and soft limits would prevent me from jogging until the end of the axis and "crashing" them. How can I set Mach4 up to work the same way?
