I have had my machine for about 9 years, and just recently converted from Zylotex to a Gecko 540. So, I am re-wiring everything.
I have scoured this forum to find out why, when my hall effect limit switches are activated it takes approx. 1.5 seconds for mach to stop the machine. This of course is far too slow, and the machine crashes. These hall effect sensors have an on board LED so I know when they become active. I am using the same switches for homing as well. (or trying to, this used to work fine with the zylotex)

The Gecko has a 48v power supply. I have a 12v independent power supply feeding a 7805 voltage regulator to power these:
Hall Effect Sensor Module from nicegear - New Zealand's open source and VoIP hardware specialist
(2 per axis) with the outputs going to Gecko input 1 (x), 2 (y), 3 (z) Input 4 if for a z height setter, which works fine. Sensor is wired with 5v to the input, grounded to the same power supply as the Gecko, and the output to the inputs on the Gecko.

They worked fine with the Zylotex board. can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or show me a wiring diagram to help...
Thanks in advance
