Running through limits on Smooth stepper
«

I installed a smooth stepper on my 3-axis mill. Homing goes great including the slave axis where each stepper touches the inductive limit switch and backs off independent.
For regular operation the machine completely ignores the switches as limits. I can jog straight through them. I know I should be setting my soft limits but I really want to find out why the machine doesn't stop when it hits the limits.
Any settings I overlooked?
Any ideas?

Attach your xml and I will look and see if there is a problem in your config.

You dont have limits set up, you only have homes set up.
If you wish to use the same switches for Limits then all you need to do is enable the respective axis limits an set to the same port and pin number as the home on that axis.
