    Hello everyone! I'm just about finished up with my build and have a question. If I want to add a second limit switch to the x and y axis, can I simply plug both both x limit switches into the x limit switch port on the Blackbox and both y limit switches into the same y limit switch port on the Blackbox?

    Thanks a lot,
    Mark Stephens

    What sort of switches have you got? Normally open (including the Extension limit switches from Openbuilds) need to be wired in parallel, so yes to your question. Normally closed switches need to be wired in series.

    Thanks Alex! They are the limit switches from Openbuilds. Sounds easy enough to plug them both in. Thanks a lot!
