    Question Gecko G540 not detecting limits

    Okay, I can move all motors, charge pump works fine, estop works correctly, etc. Now I am trying to setup physical limit switches and the problem is that limits are not detected. when my (hall sensor + magnet) limit switch is tripped, the input gets grounded, however nothing is displayed within the MACH screen. Any suggestions?

    Problem solved!!!

    Turned out that the ground between supply voltage for sensor and gecko ground are not connected. Once connected, all works perfect.
