Combine all Home and LImit switches

Hello,

it's my first post on forum so i want to say hello to everyone


I was wondering about one thing. Can I combine all limit and homing switches and plug it to one pin?
I know that i can combine all Homing to one pin and all Limit to another pin, but i got only one pin left.


thanks in advance for help, and sorry for my poor english skill ;]

regards

Thanks a lot John

but i have problem with homing. When i add in HAL limit option

"
net all-home => axis.0.home-sw-in
net all-home => axis.0.neg-lim-sw-in
net all-home => axis.0.pos-lim-sw-in

net all-home => axis.2.home-sw-in
net all-home => axis.2.neg-lim-sw-in
net all-home => axis.2.pos-lim-sw-in
"

when im trying to home then when first switch trip, homing proces stops and "joint 2 on limit switch error"

of course i set "HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES" in both axis

any clue, what i'am doing wrong?

Yes, i'm useing sequence from to first diagram of Your link.

in a second i will paste AXIS section of my INI file and HAL file.

thank John for reply But its non working correct anyway. I think i have found the problem.

I make a test, turn on only limit switches on Z axis, when X axis (HOME_SEQUENCE=0) was based everything was ok. When X asis (HOME_SEQUENCE=1) trip switch, "joint 2 on limit switch error" appears.

I think "HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES" only affects limit "pos" and "neg" of this axis, and I have all 4 limits (from both axis) connected to one pin.


How i can ignore all limit switches, not only those from currently based axis?

Yes, table hits switch and sit on in.

ehhhh, i make mistake in post before.

"I make a test, turn on only limit switches on X axis, when X axis (HOME_SEQUENCE=0) was based everything was ok. When Z axis (HOME_SEQUENCE=1) trip switch, "joint 2 on limit switch error" appears. "
