Limit Switch Project

Project in progress...

I just installed my new Ruida 4445S controller, and I dug in and while I have wires that were connected to the limit switch inputs on the previous controller I don't actually appear to have limit switches.

Needs further investigation. But I can cut if I just hit 'stop' when I power on the laser, so it doesn't crash in its attempt to find home, and set local origins.

A limit switch that doesn't do anything

This little guy, on the left, is a powered up limit switch. If you put metal up to it the little light comes on to show that it is activated. I tried moving x and y in both directions and then triggering this switch and the laser did not stop.

Presumably I have it connected to the wrong place. But also, it can never trigger.
