Limit Switches with LED's

Can't he just use a separate 5V supply and use the NO contact to make the circuit when the switch trips.? Simplizz enough to me.!!

Edit: Like this.?

Ray the same 5V supply that powers the Bob would work just take another feed from it.

Or, use a double throw microswitch and have red green on every switch, fully independant and all on one 3 wire loop, easy peasy.

Hi Robin

Many thanks, still confused, would that be a SPDT? I thought I was trying to illustrate that in my drawing, or did I get that wrong?

Yes Ray machine will stop and the relevant tripped switch LED turn on.

Easy to test off machine just run 5V+ wire from PSU to LED/resistor then thru NO contact of switch that Neg (-) is connected to BOB (-). the BOB will return to Ground of the PSU.
If it works Mach will go into reset and the LED light up while switch held in.
