I'm on the last leg of putting my plasma table together with Mr Campbells THC300 and need some final hook-up advice, whoopeee. I have two switches on th X-axis, two on the Y-axis and a switch on the Z-axis for a floating THC and the Z-axis home switch making six switches alltogether and a total of 11 possible input signals! Thats 3++, 3--, 3 home, 1 THC and an Estop signal. What I don't seem to have are enough input pins on the cnc4pc breakout board. After reading Bob Campbells setup manual, and Sheetcams THC setup manual and Mach2s manual I almost get a grip. From what I understand Z++ Limit and "Digitize" are assigned input pin 13 on port 1 in Mach2, that leaves 4 input pins. Mach2 then assigns Estop to pin 10 mandatory for instance leaving only three pins for XYZ Home and XY-- and XY++ limit switches. Can I assign X-- and Y-- as limit switches in series or parallel to pin 10 not having an actual Estop switch and XYZ Home and XY++ to the same pins or how did you do this? If anyone understands this mess please let me know.
Thanks a bunch
