Pause after homing X
I have Core-XY printer (H-bot) and my homing sequence is - X then Y and finally Z. Most of the times homing works as it should, but in about 20-30% of cases I am observing that print-head homes at X then stops for several seconds (could be up-to 10) and then continues homing towards Y and Z. While this is not causing any problems, I am just curios what could be the reason and whether anybody else is observing similar behavior.

Here is the extract from Octoprint terminal log

But that means you are not using it, so that explanation is not the problem. You are using same homing code as normal cartesian printers.
Since it does not happen so far for me i can not debug the problem. If you have some programming skills you could do. Mainly adding some debug messages to see in log so you see where in code the hang happens. What you could try is
M111 S70
which enables debugging end stops but also can cause firmware to crash so really just for testing. The only thing I see is the first long move that takes time and stops when endstop is triggered. So what is happening - does x endstop get triggered or does y endstop get triggered and x move continues without moving since endstop y also stops x on core xy but does not finish move. So it executes all steps until finished. No harm just wast of time. Might in deed be what is happening in your case so worth to set the debug flag and home a few times. But go back into field before rehoming.
I do have programming skills, but right now I am in the active phase of building new IDEX printer and my first and so far the only one printer is printing IDEX parts almost 24/7. If this issue does not go away, I may try to debug it, as you suggest, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
Still, I will post updates here, if I obtain additional information.
Thanks again!
