    Hi guys. Just finished building my first cnc ever. I have everythibg working fine, except one thing.
    My z-limit microswitch doesn’t seem to work. When triggering the switch machine disconnects giving me this error (see picture)

    i have wired according to the schematics with the switch connected to pin 1 and 3 on the blackbox z-limit.

    any help Would be greatly appreciated

    Switch wired wrong. Compare to docs.openbuilds.com

    You have the switch setup so it shorts V+ to GND, can cause damage

    You were of course right good sir. Went over all solderings and connection, and the tiniest strand of metal was shortening det connection.

    works perfect now. Thanks for the quick answer.

    now on learning more of what this awesome thing can do!
