well, for the start of an endless beginning here are my homing files.
homey.g homex.g homez.g homeall.g
Would be super helpful if someone could take a look and give some advice. since i'm working on this project with determination and frustration hand in hand, i'm not willing to give up on it any time soon 
all is good, separate axis homing is now all good, guess i had to take a break from this 
... but now i have to figure out how the homeall.g should look like for my particular printer.
at the moment i'm using anet a8 motors except on the x axis i have a wantai motor , because i'm cheap, and the Psu is 12 volt. both z axis motors have endstop switches. Right now i'm fooling around with macros for homing x and y axis to prepare the code for actual homing commands.
The config.g looks like this

Hi everybody.
I'm working on a 3d printer, it dual z axis with endstop micro switches, X and Y axis are hopefully sensorless... I on the other hand have no background in programing what so ever. The thing is i'm having hard time homing my Y and X axis from a random position. Can please someone take a look at my nonsense and push me at the right direction.
So thanks to all of you i finaly got my work horse up and running... feels great to be back in busyness. Phaedrux, you gave me that link, well i did as you and in the duet page was told... didn't doo anything. so i installed Duet Web Control 3.1.1. works great and looks better than the old version...
Thanks for the incredible expeiriense of a great community support.
i us the same document to calibrate my bl touch
its a temporary repai >D the tip of bl touch has broken off. and i have mutch greater problem to deal with... doesn't have the tool tip have to be just above the built plate... cuz when i did the z probe callibration, insted of thickness of the paper witch was about 0. something. it showed me after G30 S-1 2.15 mm wtf?

did today my firmware update. but now i got a new problem.
tried it allso out... no results
Yeah tried the easier way but no results.
some how in retractprobe.g
M280 P3 S90 I1
gave me an error message
dang... i feel like some kind of releaf. thanks a lot... 3d printing community is a special place to get advice and help. thanks a lot mi8.
all right. try this out tomorrow and send feedback of the results here in this thread.
if to be honest, the first time i updated the firmware, it was quiet a hassel, but if nothing helps i gues i have to do it from scrach again. last time i did it, it took me a whole day reading and downloading and following instructions all at the same time. gues i try it tomorrow.
thanks for the advices . just in case i ask, is ther a alternative for this problem. like a quick fix or something... need some prints to make.
Ok. so far nothing has happened when i home the xyz axis.

servo control is in pin 7
1.21RC2 (2018-02-15 build 2) installed it some time in june
so far i have tried everything but nothing works. Nozzl is still 2mm above build plate. @phaedrux suggested that my home configurations are faulty. is it because i removed my z axis trigger, or is there anything else wrong. config files seamed to be ok so far as i can tell. I have a ender 3 (not pro), duet 2 wifi and a og. BlTouch wiring are all correct as on the diagrams from the web.
Thanks in advance for response, cheers.

I have a similar problem with my z offset... so far i have tried everything but nothing works. Nozel is still 2mm above build plate. Jason Znack suggested that my home configurations are faulty. is it because i removed my z axis trigger, or is there anything else wrong. config files seamed to be ok so far as i can tell.
