    Not strictly true Rob and I know you now this but for clarity sake for others I'm pointing this out.

    Homes and Limits can share the same Input/switch provided they are wired directly to the inputs and not thru Relays also Mach is setup correctly.

    When setup this way Mach changes how it homes.? It turns off limits while Homing and treats the switch has HOME switch. After Homing finish's it turns Limits back on and treats the Switch has Limits from that point on or until Homed again.
    If you wire the Home switches to separate input then Mach will still monitor the Limits while Homing and trip if touched.
    Also If you wire each home switch to individual input then you can have Mach simultanously home all Axis at the same time. (This does mean a slight change of Mach's Home script)
