Sorry I just turn a spindle on and off.
I use the same relays and I have the K1 relay jumper to the Pin "1" side and they work.

You do not have to do a home to limits i just think it is a good idea.
You have to set it up so the limits & home are configured to the correct pins in Mach and the ESS

Not sure what exactly you are asking but i will try.

If one switch is for limits on both ends then both the ++ and -- limit are the same pin.
If the above is true then the home switch is a different pin.

If one switch is the home and limit for one direction then they are the same pin and the limit for the other direction is a different pin.

This is how my motors are hooked up.
Most of my extra is in the screen so you are not seeing that.

Phando,

I think this is what you are looking for.
Yes the limits and motors are connected to the correct places as long as you have them wired correct and set up correct.

Phando,

I have a lot of very custom stuff on my setup so some of it might just confuse you.
The PDF file might have most of the information you are wanting.
I have also attached my ini file.
You will need to go through it in notepad to find the information you are wanting because it will probably not work for you to replace yours.

Mach 4 has a developers version you can get from them to do what you are wanting to do.
We used it to make our software run Mach 4.

Mach4 Plugins / Re: Mach 4 XBOX360 controller plugin that doesn't require writing a LUA script ?

« on: May 25, 2021, 04:20:40 PM »

Many of the Plugins and standard products don't require a custom LUA script.
The scripting happens when you want something different or special.
The options and what people want are just too varied.
