    Low Vibration causing the Z limit to switch

    I noticed that the low vibration on my bosch colt router is causing the Z limits to go off. What kind of limit switches are you using on yours?

You could also be seeing the effects of electrical noise from the router and/or steppers coupling into the pull up resistors on your BOB. You can try going into Mach3 and increasing the de-bounce time for your switches.
