Re: How should we wire the photoswitchs?

As many people would assumed, looking correct is not just looking at it. I re-did my wiring a couple times and tried many different I/O Ports to see if I was wiring the power into the signal as many other people have said this. Reposting an old problem would be silly and thats why I didn't. The signal is going to the signal pin on the Digital IO Board (the innermost pin). The power is the same for all of the photoswitches coming from the Power Distribution Board. The white wire from the photoswitch is connected to the white signal wire on the PWM.

I was wondering if people knew anything about the teach mode because I was trying to find the calibration screw and turned the front black piece. Now when I turn it on it is always flashing between the yellow and the orange lights.

Thanks,

Morton
