    Momentary push button as limit wsitces?

    Hello
    I own the Gecko G540 controller, and wondering about limit switches- i have a 3 axis CNC machine with limit switches (they actually installed a momentary push button- N/O)- while i see everywhere limit switches connected as N/C.
    how can I connect NO switches to the gecko drive? will use Mach 3 or Mach 4 to operate the system

    You just invert the pin in the mach3 software. Machine 3 doesn't care if you use NO or NC switches, it just has to be set to know if an open or closed circuit means you are on the limit
