Hey Travis welcome to the wonderful world. <g>

What versions of Linux, RT, and EMC? What run file and ini file are you
using? What motion module, steppermod, freqmod, stgmod, ppmcmod are you
using with it? Do you have limit and home switches set up?

Off the wall answer is, find the ini that you are running by looking at about
line 27 in the run file that you call. If you run from icon, look in it's
properties to find the run file. (right click).

If BDI, find that ini file in /usr/local/emcand edit

MIN_LIMIT_SWITCH_POLARITY = 0

for the opposite of what it is. If not BDI find the emc directory and do the
same. Sometimes it is /usr/local/nist/emc.

Repeat for the other similar messages.

There might be some help in the linuxcnc.org/handbook and the faq at the same
place.
