I would love to try this but my machine is running as I type. I have read somewhere that Mach should be set up in in. or metric and left alone. If I were going to try it I would copy my XML and rename it something like
"My Mach3 XML" and create a short cut to this one also. I do know that in keygrabber you can set up other profiles. There is probably a way to do it that one of the smart guys will let us know about. If anybody has the balls to try it, let us know how it works out.

It helps confirm that an input is actually being seen. After the time you set your debounce to, mach will then acknowledge it. It helps remove flakey readings. Set it to 1000 and see if that helps any.

Hello Spence,
You are welcome. I don't know for what though, you did it all yourself. Good job.

The only thing I know to do on that alarm is good old troubleshooting. Check your voltage and see that the switches are making and braking. Check to see that they are wired right and the active low, high is set up to work with your config. You may be able to narrow it down by disabling one switch at the time until the problem goes away. You will have to disable all of the limits you have wired to a single pin though. There is allways the possibility of it being a noise problem also. Have you ran the driver test? What is your debounce set at?
