Hi all, first question, a bit basic
I am building a CNC plasma table and as I have never used CNC before, its a learning curve.
Reading the forums and the manual, I have gained some insight into the wiring methods to use for limits etc, but want to check I have the facts right...
There are only 5 inputs available (1 LPT port),
I can daisy-chain the limit switches (2x, 2y, 1z) and only use 1 input,
The E-Stop is on its own input, or can it be daisy-chained in with the limits?
If I later add THC, I believe it will need 3 inputs (Up, Down, Arc OK)?
In Mach3 I can use the limits as soft-home switches too (with the caveat of making sure the carriage is off the limits before homing)
With the E-stop in the limit chain, this setup will now use all 5 inputs, am I on the right track??
Many thanks
Dave
