G28 - "joint 0 on limit switch error" when limit switch tripped was created by zhivko
Why am I getting "joint 0 on limit switch error" on homing X axis with:
G28 X250
This happens when my xmax limit switch is tripped. Isn't tripping an switch normal while homing? Why error?
I use NC limit switch.
I use debounce.
My linuxcnc config is at:

Add a small value to " home_offset " so it backs off of the switch.

There are a couple of settings so read the docs on homing configuration ad in i files. I may have used the wrong values below but:
IGNORE_LIMITS = TRUE tells the system to ignore limits when homing.
HOME_OFFSET must be used to move the axis off the limit where there is as shared home/limit switch. If you do not do this moving to home with G28 will trigger a limit switch (because while its not homing, that is what it is)

G28 does not "home" the axis. In fact the docs state that it can only usefully be used after the axes have been homed.
G28 goes to a pre-stored position in absolute coordinates.
When the limit error trips, is the machine actually on a limit switch?
