    Taig Mill DSLS 3000 and Home Switch?

    Is there a homing switch solution that will work with the Taig DSLS 3000?

    I'm running Mach 3.

    I've learned the hard way that they come in very handy when working.

    Even good edging/corner solutions would be better than what I have now.

    Does the lack of response mean that the question was too broad, too ridiculous, or impossible?

    Greg - it's more a case that while many of us are subscribed to this list, on-line ones are a pain to keep up with. MUCH happier with proper emails in my in box ...

    The answer is both easy and complicated. The DSLS3000 controller uses the spare inputs on it's parallel port for the error signals from the drivers, so there are no spare inputs available. Mach3 is not restricted to a single parallel port, but your computer probably does not have a second, so one needs a PCI card to provide one. IF that can be made available then you have access to home and limit switches and all the rest of the extras that the single parallel port can't provide.
