Title: Setting my Limits
Post by: tz1238 on February 04, 2008, 05:33:36 PM

I have all my limits set to pin 13.  5 volt input. When I set to active high, my limits do not work. When I set my limits to active low, like my home switches, I cannot reset the E stop.
My limits are in series that when the switch trips it breaks connection. Help!

OK so how are you connecting to the port? do you have a breakout board or is it direct? If its a Breakout what make? What exactly do you mean by "Pin 13. 5v Input"?

Breakout board C1 by CNC4PC. Output 13 where you jump the output to produce 5 volts. I use pin 10 output for my home switches the same way and they work perfectly.
