Re: Limit Switch and Button

Thanks for your responses. Our team is now actually running a FP motor off the x-axis of a second joystick and needs a limit switch so we don't swallow our lead screw (the cylinder got used elsewhere.)
We're going to mess with this now, but I think the and statement is going to be the answer. The trick will be to have the limit switch stop travel in one direction but still make the reverse (retracting) motion of the motor available in order to unswitch the limit switch lever.
