    Spent the day thinking about Jazz's suggestions - decided to listen to wisdom :)

    The clincher is that it really simplifies the circuits, and I don't have to now work out how to connect the proximity switches I have (NPN NC) in series - I can now just run each back to the controller and have enough input pins to deal with it.

    Leaves me needing 5 proximity switches in total - a Positive X limit, two Negative Xs (one each side, doubling as the X homes), a Y and a Z (each doing triple duty). You can see most of them and their trigger plates highlighted in the diagram below.
