Ian, Look at the + or - signs on the homing lines in your .ini file. I think what is happening is that the machine is running to the limit switch but not reversing its direction to 'back off' the switch before final low speed homing. So, the direction should effectively be + - + or - + - depending on your machine setup but it can get confusing if the direction of the axis is already reversed on the 'scale' line to make the axis move in the 'correct' direction to comply with standard machine conventions. In that case it might need to be + + - or ........................!
