I am having problems with my z axis configuration and it is hitting the top of the unit. The configuration is messed up.
As part of the solution I am thinking of robbing the pin for my a axis slaved motor to the y axis which already has a switch. Currently I have
pin 10 to Emergency switch,
pin 11 to Y axis,
pin 12 to A axis which is slaved to X
pin 13 to X axis
pin 15 is to probe.

On my parallel controller I am out of points now.
Wouldn't it be better to have the Z limit for homing by moving it to pin used for A (Pin 12)?
The Gantry seems to track fine and not even sure the Gantry uses the second limit to home with as a slave configuration.

Ideally. X should have both the switches wired in n eithher seriess for NC or paralell for NO going to 1 input leavinng an input left over for Z.
Or better still you need a new controller with more inputs.

I could run the A axis in series with the x if that is ok. I would think that would work so that if either hits the switch first then it trips all of the switches. I agree about getting a new card. I have 50 cutting boards to do and then I can do that. But for now that would give me a good z limit switch and allow me to fix my z limits and travel problems.

Thanks,
