    If you are using Mach3 you can wire every homing switch in series, as Mach3 moves the axis until the switch is tripped and then back it to the untripped status. It Homes each axis separately in the order Z, Y, X (Z first to get the tool high and out of the way). Other CNC software may do similar, but I have only used Mach3.

    Have a look at this article http://www.learningaboutelectronics....PNP-transistor . I presume that you are asking about limit switches, which can be regarded as transistor switches, although I am being a bit simplistic about it.

    Cheers,
