    Dean, what would be the best way to do it then? I'm going to have 2 proxys on each axis (maybe not the Z but I've not worked out where/how to put them it yet) as I want them tucked away (the Y axis ones are going to be in the enclosed gantry and the X axis ones are going to be mounted on the machine sensing the ballnut housing)

    Graeme, I want to rely on hardware to control the driver enable and just inform the software that there's been a positional error and not rely soley on the software to get the signal and then inform the driver of the error.

    Looking good!

    The CS Labs controller was such a pleasure to work with I have to say :) so well laid out. Definitely a good choice on that one.

    The whole build is coming together nicely look forward to seeing it move soon!

    That way is fine Neil I was more pointing out the side affects of wiring in series before some one chimed in that you can't wire prox switches in series.

    One thing I meant to ask is that your not planning on sharing Home and Limit switches are you.? Because if so then it won't work.!
