    Is it possible to add a second set of limit switches to the X and Y on the Lead1010?

    My theory is to tie them in parallel to the existing homing limits. That way if I miss judge distance I don't manually move the X orY into it's extents, it stops before grinding the motors. :)

    (not that I do this or anything....)

    My X is slightly out of square with the Y so if I hit the extents, I have to re-square the X so I want to prevent hitting the extents.

    Thanks

    If you have Xtension limits, then yes,

    V+ on BlackBox to V+ on first switch to V+ on second switch
    GND on BlackBox to GND on first switch to GND on second switch
    SIG on BlackBox to SIG on first switch to SIG on second switch
