okay further update.
I got the estop signals to show up on Halshow. for anyone in the future having a similar issue. I needed to connect the ground from the power supply to the TB3 pin 12 (int common). From there i went 24v+ --> NC on the switch --> Common the switch -- > to the mesa. I am using simple two lead limit switches.
My next questions is how to invert the pin in the hal so that the machine will power on and honest think the limit switches are always being pressed.
I am also considering putting one more on the tandem second y motor so i can square the axis every time i home the machine. Does is this a good idea? seems like free real estate.
thanks again.

If you use pncconf to create your configuration, there a check box by the inputs
to invert them.

It MUST have 2 switches, one for each side, this can do gantry squaring every time the machine is homed.
Or if you want to use a single switch, do not set a tandem axis, just set two Y axis outputs/stepgens in the wizard, but this can not do squaring the gantry.

Wait, you can NOT set the machine with tandem axis with only one home switch on one side of the tandem axis.

I was able to figure it out in the hal. I just usedto invert all my inputs. My estop is even working too!
Okay this makes sense ill fire one and get it wired in. How would the hal differ below is my best attempt.
