FOUR AXIS PROBOTIX, Y SLAVED TO A.  ON THE INPUT SIGNALS, AS LONG AS I MAKE A++ ACTIVE HIGH, I CAN JOG, MOVE WITH MDI, AND FOLLOW G CODE. WHEN THE SYSTEM HOMES TO X, IT WILL ACTIVATE THE E STOP, BUT WILL NOT MOVE OFF HOME LSWITCH OR "0".

General Mach Discussion / Input Signals

I have a four (4) axis Probotix SidebySide system, with A axis slaved to Y.  All limit switches are wired by axis, not together.  What should the input  port and pins be set at.
A printout of the input page would be really nice, but anything will help.
