Mach3 breakout board was created by pop
I am in the process of changing out my Kelig db 25 breakout board with a mach3 board. I do not have limit switches but do use a joystick and touch off plate. When I connect with the new break out board I get joint 0, joint 1, joint 2 on limit switch error. I've run for abt 10 years with the Kelig board and never any problems. I have used the old configuration and created a new on but both have the same problem. Also note that the arrows appear on x,y,z axis. Thanks any input would be appreciated.

Invert the input pins in the hal file by adding -not at the end, or maybe _not.
You can do the same thing in StepConf or PncConf wizards by checking the "inv" besides the pin names.

Thanks for the input. I didnt find the input pins per se. So I just commented out the the lines that referred to input pins and it seems to work. I will probably just run the stepconf again. Just a pain to input all the other code in custom_post_gui and hal files. If you see an issue with what I have done pls let me know. You guys are always so helpful. I value your input.

Comenting out inputs will render them unusable, they will not work.
Do not worry about editing hal and ini files, it does seem hard at first, but it gives a view at inner workings of LinuxCNC so after a while it becomes very usefull and gives you the power to change things as you need.
