Has anyone had luck adding Home/Limit switches to this machine? It seems like it should be straight forward, but I am having trouble figuring out what I need with all the info out there. I see people using aux power supplies, breakout boards, etc and this is fairly confusing for a first timer.
There is a header on the board which looks like it is meant for limit switches, it literally says "X Y Z GND GND GND" but it couldn't be that easy, could it? How do I tell what voltage and amp switches I need? What I am doing is fairly unique, so I need to be able to precisely zero my machine and even walking it manually into a pre-drilled hole is not cutting it for what I am trying to pull off.
Basically, I am taking MDF and cutting them to fixture Aluminum project boxes. From there I base my drawings off of the MDF and it works great except when I need to go back to the templates. I can never get it absolutely perfect again, so thus the need for limit switches in order to home.
These are the limit switches I have on the way are Short Hinge Lever SPDT Momentary Micro Limit Switch 0.6A 125VDC since it won't let me post pictures.
Should I have gone with someone more accurate like the proximity switches? I am getting pretty frustrated with trying to get good accuracy.
