yes, now I realized that those 3 switches are linked together in a serial manner. So there is no way to know which one was switched on or off. I wonder how they can be used by WinPC to establish a reference point.Sickone4 wrote: but is it possible is the question therefore that the 3 switches are somehow serial...

Do you want to laugh? With linuxCNC when the router triggers one switch the program stops. I have to:
- turn off steppie power
- manually move the router a little back (so the switche is no more triggered)
- turn power again
Funny!
Anyway happy to know that it's not easy to damage motors when the end-position is physically reached.
Axis switches are for nothing? This can be... so why not eliminating them at all?
Yes, 3 are useful to have a reference position... but 6 switches would be better! A simple program could calculate the working area quite easily as a 3D volume using just 2 points in the 3D space.
Anyway, what above are just my speculations...

Danke Christian, I will check that thread!ChrisSc wrote: Please refer to this Thread for screenshots on the setup of the axis. Note the position of the switch as a negative value on the x-axis. On the y and z-axis note the difference in the values of "Table Travel" and "Home (Switch) Location"!
Cheers,
Christian
