Hood,

I appreciate your reply. I was thinking along those same lines but wanted to hear the pros and cons form someone who has been there. I dont foresee any reason not to use one input for eash axis as I dont foresee anyhting coming down the pipe that would need an extra input...do you?

Thank you for your reply...hope your weather is good and the wind is at your back.

The Subject should have been.....Mach 3 and limit switches being seperate or wired into one input.....I hoping to get some input here.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

First of all, I want to thank you in advance for any answers that I may receive from this question. I assume the answer to this question is a matter personal preference rather than the answer being "There is ONLY one way to do it." I am putting the finishing touches on my machine and just want to get this ? answered before I proceed.

I am using the G540 as my controller board with which there are 5 total inputs on this board. I have, like most everyone else, have limit switches on all of the axis's. I have two on the X axis, 2 on the y axis and 1 on the Z axis. At present all five of the switches are tide together and run into one input on the Gecko G540. I suppose I am being a little hard headed to say that it would only seem better to have each axis running into its own independent input. At this point, the light indications for M1,M2 and M3 respectively will have have each axis separated. Is this the "right way to do if you have the open inputs or does it really matter? I just want to do it the best way from the beginning of putting this machine together rather that having to change it back to the other way down the road.

I am open to all opinions.....thanks in advance.

Mike
