Re: Motor Limits

It is just small switch (physical) with a little metal arm on it to make it easier to press. See this pic http://www.omron.com.au/product_info...mit_switch.jpg You mount the switch such that when the device reaches maximum travel, the switch is pressed. The RC reads the state of the switch as being closed. And your program shuts off the motor (in that direction) accordingly.
