Re: Limit switches on a lift -- best practice
We haven't messed around with direct sensor-Jaguar control yet, so I don't know how it all works, but I'm not sure it would work for our situation. We used a screw-style lift (lead screw) which needs limit switches on both the top and the bottom. We also used two motors to drive the lift, which means two Jaguars because the GDC doesn't allow running two motors off of one controller. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Jaguar only allows input from one sensor at a time; and we need it to be able to accept from two. And since we have two Jaguars that also means we'd need 4 limit switches unless there's some way to split or duplicate the signal to both of them.
