    My new table cnc approx. cut area 20”x26” made all in aluminum with 7 limit mechanical switches, Mach3 register, ESS, C11G BOB, ASUS Laptop with Windows 8.1 was working very well and did my first 3 sample cuts until I decided to re arrange wiring for better looks

    The attached snip shows at the top left of the screen the Homing of all axis is complete but there are two limit switches on the Y and A axis shown on the right of the screen which are triggered but at least I can back out my axis. Just wonder where to look for to solve this minor problem.

    I reroute motors/limits wiring but when I connect the shielded ground to the star point ground and try to Home the Y axis it says “Limit switch is active, fix the wiring and try again”. Try again it says “Limit switch is triggered”. For now I left the ground wiring not connected,

    I don’t know if the ESS has anything to do with it but reading on the web some suggest to install a capacitor to the limits wiring but I don’t know what size capacitor and where to connect the capacitor and besides I don’t know if it will help.

    Thank you
