    Is it possible to use the home switch as the limit switch as well?

    When I tried it it tripped the Estop and I couldn't do anything so I needed to change it back to only a home switch so I could jog away.
    I think it would be possible?????

    To simply answer your question the answer is yes. That is how my sustem is set up. 1 switch acting as both home and limit. I apologize for not being able to take the time to explain it but I have to leave for a while. If someone has not answered the specifics by the time I get back this afternoon I will do my best to help you.
