Re: Programming a limit switch for two buttons

Tell us more about your setup, e.g.,
  • What kind of limit switches are you using?
  • Are they mounted to be pressed when the arm is in the up and in the down positions?
  • How are they wired-Normally Open or Normally Closed?
  • What kind of motor controller are you using, e.g., Talon using PWM?
  • How are you controlling the arm motor, e.g., joystick, button?
  • How are the controls expected to work, e.g., push forward on the joystick the arm goes down, pull back and the arm goes up?
  • What have you tried that didn't work? What were the symptoms of the failure?
