Newbie, Limit switch issue
« on: August 20, 2025, 06:49:28 AM »
Good morning everyone,
             I am in the process of building a cnc router that I designed, I am to the point that I have the machine moving and running via a program I ran on my other machine. I am having an issue homing the machine, it homes the Z and the Y, but when it comes to the X the machine doesn't move and I get a message that says "Requested home axis home switch is active, please fix, then home". The switch is not depressed and I have verified that the switch is good by using an om meter (and switched the switches with an axis that is homing). Any ideas I can try would be helpful. The controller I am using is a AXBB-E, with Nema 23 Closed loop steppers.

TIA
Carlton

Update:

I was able to get around the issue by wiring each limit switch in parallel, i realize this is shouldn't be necessary, but its how I got it to work.
