FAQs / Re: Wiring Limit, Home and E-Stop Switches
« on: March 02, 2016, 02:35:05 AM »Hi is it best to wire all the limit switches in series including the home switches. By this I mean just using 2 wires so all the switches are all connected in 1 circuit with only using 1 pin.
If you are using a 'slaved axis' then you need the switches for one of these axes on a separate input in order to allow for squaring the gantry on homing.
Your home switches can be your limit switches if you wish.
Other than that yes they can all be connected in series and connected to one input pin but use shielded cable with the shield only connected to Earth at the controller end.
