Bryce, If this is a typical micro switch you can move one wire and use the N/C set of contacts and that is the prefered way to connect a limit switch. Then change back to Both Limit + Home and when you start up if you get joint 0 limit switch error (and your not sitting on the limit switch) change the invert check box. If you still get the error randomly then suspect noise/loose connection or other electrical problems.
Once you solve the above and if you still have a homing problem what home related settings did you use to set up that axis with in the wizard?
