Hi. I am into version two, router table and going through the final setup but adding in more switches for the travel of my Y axis which I have added a slaved stepper to. I have found lots of wiring diagrams but nothing that can point me in the full direction of how to go about the limit and homing switches when I have a two stepper slaved motor setup.
Like last time I just ran a limit switch at the end of each axis with them in series NC. But this time I want to put a switch, both sides of the table. At each end of the Y axis and then one in the middle. I want to be able to setup Mach 3 so my machine will home axis Y and slave A, and will then also utilise the other switches to calibrate any racking out of the machine. And you know what? I have no confirmed idea on how to either wire them up or how to setup Mach 3 to know they are there.
My initial thoughts are to put each side of the table 3 switches in series for the Y axis and use two inputs. Then a third input for the Z and X axis switches wired NC in series?
Can someone help please? Too much information is not too much if you know what I mean. Otherwise I am operational and happy!
