O.K. This Might work. I have access to tons (literally) of satellite receivers. In the front panel there are very small buttons.
In a limit switch the circuit is always connected until the machine over travels. So I will just set up a rocker (spring loaded teeter totter) that holds the switch down until the machine hits it and the circuit would be broken and the machine would stop. Has anybody tried this? It could be put into a small box and mounted pretty easy.
