Hi!
I have almost completed my X2 CNC build. I use CNC Fusion ball screws and Keeling stepper motors. I have a Gecko 540 and Mach 3 on an old XP machine that I have refurbished here.
I just need to mount limit hardware (swithces) to avoid machine damage.
A question regarding limit swithces to the X2 people on this forum:
Is one limit switch per axis + soft limits in Mach 3 enough?
Hoss seems to use only one switch per axis: home switches and soft limits - YouTube
In case its ok with only three switches (one on X, one on Y, one on Z) it saves me a lot of hassle and wiring!
What do you think? How have you done it on your machines. (Yes I tried a search).
