Thank you ! Feels good to have finished it - or at least get it working (already thought of a few tweaks here and there).

Something I asked about along time ago on this forum and received plenty of help on (thank you!) was getting the 24V prox signal into the 5V breakout board. In ep22 you saw the circuit that was recommended to me but I have found it a bit unreliable and actually crashed into the sensor on one occasion. So I did a bit of searching and tried a diode in the black wire from the sensor (bar pointing to sensor I think?). This works very well without any issues and gives either a solid 5V or 1V when switched. The diode I had to hand was a generic 1Nxxx type which is meant for relays (?) and such but have since bought a proper switching diode (not fitted yet) which I guess is much faster or at least more suitable. When I’m back at the PC I’ll post a diagram for the electrical guys to comment on.
