Is the config wizard correctly setting the HOME_IS_SHARED and HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS ?

It's OK to have one switch for both limits and home.
The issue is that he has the same switch for home AND positive AND negative limits:
# ---setup home / limit switch signals---
net both-home-x => joint.0.home-sw-in
net both-home-x => joint.0.neg-lim-sw-in
net both-home-x => joint.0.pos-lim-sw-in

That is a valid option in the dropdown list but I have tried it multiple ways. Again, more coffee and then I let you know.

I assume that HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS and the HOME_IS_SHARED is set by the selected option in the dropdown of the Mesa input option. Looking at the files, HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS is in the .ini file but HOME_IS_SHARED doesn't appear to be in the files. Hmmm. I assume both should be in the .ini file? Did I find a bug in the pncconf wizard?It's OK to have one switch for both limits and home.

HOME_IS_SHARED = <n> - If the home input is shared by more than one axis set <n> to 1 to prevent homing from starting if the one of the shared switches is already closed. Set <n> to 0 to permit homing if a switch is closed.
This is only for setups where you have the home switches wired to the same input.
I don't use the config wizard for more than just creating the basic config. Once that is done I do all my customization manually in the hal and ini files. So I don't know why you got a config with the same input assigned to the positive and negative limit but I showed you how to fix it in the hal file because I think that is why your homing procedure is not working.
Of course it would be nice it the config wizard did not create it that way in the first place.

@ andyIt's OK to have one switch for both limits and home.
Am I misreading this?
Do you mean:
1. It's OK to have one switch for both (limit and home).
or
2. It's OK to have one switch for both limits (positive AND negative) AND home.
I presumed the first but if it is indeed the second then I apologize and stand corrected.
