General Mach Discussion / Home switches
« on: January 03, 2010, 06:12:20 PM »
Could someone please help me, I am new to Mach3 and I am setting up my first machine (3 axis mill). Everything has gone well until I started hooking up my home and limit switches.
All my switches are NC so the software settings are for active low. I hooked up the limit switches and the E-Stop switch in series to pin ten and they seem to work fine (LEDS come on as expected. I hooked up my X axis to pin 11 Y axis to pin 12 and Z axis to pin 13. The only one that works is the X axis, it works as expected.
Y and Z will not work at all.
Is there any way of testing the signal for the breakout board?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
