Re: Limit Switch Issues

One other simple thing to try is just making a mechanical "filter". This year, my team had issues where a limit switch with a longer paddle was bouncing up and down, preventing us from using our lifter. The solution: We wrapped a piece of surgical tubing around the paddle, and attached it above the limit switch, so the tubing was slightly stretched. It worked great, and we didn't have any more false triggers.
