    Limit Switch Problem

    I have all my limits set to pin 13 on my BOB. 5 volt input. When I set to active high, my limits do not work. When I set my limits to active low, like my home switches, I cannot reset the E stop.

    I just noticed that my Manual Limit override is flashing in the Settings screen. I 'm wondering if this is related to my other problem. How do I correct this?

    How are your limits wired?

    Yes, all my limits switches are working. I have them in series.When I go to diagnostics screen, and trip one of the switches, all three lights go on as expected. I have them set up for 5 volts. Everything seems hooked up correctly, but when I run an axis to the switch, it will not stop. I get no EStop. I have tried active high, active low, to no avail. Like I said, The manual limit override is constantly flashing. Is there a way to reset or turn this off?

    I had my limit set incorrectly in the input section of setup. I just didn't scroll down far enough. Thanks for all the help.
