FAQs / Which type of limit switches

« on: March 08, 2016, 04:25:45 AM »

Few question about limit switches, in term of selecting of limit switches, I notice majority go for mechanical type limit switches,

is it better/easier to setup compared to light sensor limit switches?

what is the pros and cons for these limit switches?

I'm currently using mechanical switches and planing to upgrade to something better/more sensitive, is sensor type switches the way to go? is the wiring same as mechanical limit switches?

thanks in advance.

Third party software and hardware support forums. / Need help on VFD connection

« on: October 27, 2015, 01:09:05 AM »

Hi all, I setup my DIY CNC machine months ago and all works fine, now I'm hopping to hookup my VFD to XHC board so MACH3 can control the spindle speed, the problem here is both VFD & XHC card terminals are using different naming so I'm not sure which is which and how to connect them, I wouldn't want to try as I worry might risk damaging the board or vfd if connect wrongly, their support also not responding any email I sent, so pretty much stuck with current manual control setup.

attached is the pic of the board and vfd terminals, hope guru here can shade some lights, thanks in advance.

regards
Michael
