Ok -tried this in Mach Mill forum with no responses so.......
As the Gecko 540 has only 5 inputs, can 2 switches be used for each axis and wired in series and connected to ONE pin only ie. ++x, --x and home x all set to, say, pin 2?
Will Mach recognise that it is travelling in a minus direction and trigger --x & home and when its travelling in a plus direction, trigger the ++x? If it needs 2 pins per axis - i'm gonna run out bearing in mind one is the e-stop!
Or is it best just to use --x / home and set soft limits for opposite limits of table movement and only take 3 of the 5 available pins?
Any diagrams or pictures of set-ups on a X2 mill would be appreciated.
My frazzled brain thanks you:cheers:
