My concept for a home, limit, and gantry squaring system is to use pogo pins. The router would be grounded while the pins would be at 5V. A touch from a pin turns that joint or axis off. That should be a highly repeatable approach.
The G540 has limited i/o and uses NC switches. My thought is to use the 5i25 P2, but I don't think that I need the capability of one of the daughter cards. Can I simply use a board to provide the wiring connections from the P2 to ground and pins? I'm fairly sure that PNCconf and HAL will allow me to work out the logic. On the other hand, the pogo pins could be used for homing and gantry squaring, while serially wired NC switches could be used for limit and crash protection. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
