CNC 3018 Pro Limit Switches and Software

[CrazeUK]

Hey @Neale thanks for responding again.

My tool is identical to the SainSmart Genmitsu 3018 Pro with the Woodpecker CNC Camtool main board (the one in the attached image)

It seems to have:
1. 6 switch limit switch terminals (2 for each axis).
2. A z probe (ordered) (A5 on the board)
3. 5v & ground supply terminal

I ordered some optical switches (3pin: Gnd, 5v, signal) and some limit switches of Amazon, to see which fit the best - with the limit I will just have a 2 wire connection.

If I use the optical switches I assume I can use the 5v terminal for power in parallel and the ground and signal for the normal limit terminals?

My aim is to locate then somewhere they will have little or no affect on the travel.

What's the deal with the proximity switches? Can you get them really small?

Also do they work with proximity (like a centimetre or 2? Or is it smaller than that?)

Will have a look at the software today.
