EMC thinks your home switch is already tripped. Go into the .ini file and
change the HOME_SWITCH_POLARITY

BTW, It was Paul Corner of the UK that put together the BDI. I am sure that
Ray had some input as he has become very involved in the development of EMC,
but it was Paul that took on the task and made it happen.
