Re: Limit switch help

Also, check that the switches are working. Depending on your specific setup, a generic way to include a monitor of Switch.get() on your smart dashboard. Then unplug your motors but otherwise run the robot. Then,
  1. Manually engage the limit switch to see if the result gets to the robot
  2. If not, unplug the switch and test for continuity each way...
  3. If so, manually move the actuator so that the limit switch should engage/disengage. Does it?
    • If so, look for software issues
    • If not, look for hardware issues - specifically mechanical adjustments so that the switch engages/disengages at the right time.
