Note: if you have an Ormerod 2 then you will need to modify the homex.g and homeall.g files. Open each of these files in a text editor, locate the “M558 P2 lines, comment them out by putting a semicolon at the start of the line, and save the file. Also change M558 P2 in your config.g file to M558 P1. The board must always be run in differential LED mode (P1) or simple modulated mode (P3). If you select P2 then the board will be asked to switch rapidly between modes and you will not get a sensible reading.

How about changing the firmware so you can define the axes that use the probe? Something along the lines of 'M558 P1 X0 Y0 Z1', so keep P0/1/2 for off and whatever probe type, then define axes on and off. Default off uses the microswitch. Just a crazy, late night idea!
If this sounds like a good idea, I'll add it to the firmware issues page as a feature request, which is the official way of asking for it: [github.com]
