Building 1st router.

[skipper_52]

After looking at quite a few plans I decided to start with Solsylva and bought my steppers from Xylotex. I understand the limit switches and emergency stop setup, but am having a difficult time finding anything on wiring for "home". Apparently this feature is not available directly on the xylotex board and needs to be hardwired somehow. (great!). Does anyone know a good place to start reading about building and setting up the home switches for a complete idiot. I plan on using Mach 3 if that helps. Will post pics of my machine as I build it. Appreciate the help.

The home switches are wired just like the limit and estop, and homing is controlled by mach3. You might want to read through the mach3 manual, even though it's a bit out of date.
