Hi Guys,

Just got my wood router running with an 1832, it is running very good and smooth 500in/min, so great job on the plugin!!

My question: I wired the limit switches to Galil input wires 4,5 & 6.  It looks like the plugin expects me to wire it to the limit switch wires, which would be great except this controller is already wired up, I could change the wiring., but would prefer to change in the software.  In Mach3 I configured ports and pins limits to these inputs, I do see in diagnostics they are triggering the limit switch, but movement continues.  I figure the plugin is hardcoded for the Galil limit wires.

Is there away to change the plugin so these inputs trigger the limit switches.

Thanks,
CNC

I believe the difficulty would actually be the Galil board since the limits on the board are hardcoded  in the firmware for the limit switch connections. The limits are sensed by the hardware and then they get reported to Mach3.

We never have the time or money to do it right the first time, but we somehow manage to do it twice and then spend the money to get it right.

I was afraid of that, well looks like its back to the wiring board.

Thanks a lot for the answer RC!!!
