      I'm attempting to troubleshoot some unexpected behavior in homing my modified delta printer. Anything obvious that I'm missing? For some reason the V axis thinks it is at ~606.13 degrees of rotation when it hits the endstop, which should really only be 93 degrees. I have the endstop location set using M208, but that doesn't seem to work.

      Here are the relevant portions of the code. For now I am getting around this by using the a homing file including a G92 V0 command to set the current position as homed to just reset the strange 600 degree offset. As far as I understand this isn't the standard way of doing things.

      I even tried switching kinematics modes to cartesian to ensure it wasn't something to do with the delta axes. Obviously in cartesian mode the delta axes do not function, but I get the same problem with the V axis homing.

          @dc42 Awesome! Thank you. So I am doing it correctly for now until a bugfix is implemented. That's good to know.
