    Hey all!

    My Z axis Xtension Limit Switch randomly stopped working. I put in a tech support ticket, as well as went ahead and put in an order for 2 new ones so I have at least one backup. But are there any tricks I can try in the meantime so see what might be wrong? The wiring from the Black Box to the switch is good still. I tested by moving my x axis switch to the z wiring and it worked. And the Z switch on the X wiring still doesn't work so I limited it to the switch itself. Thanks!
