    good evening OB Community!
    I am having issues with limit switches ( I know, this is not a new thing)
    All of my switches are mechanically sound, and wired correctly. However, my Y axis switch does not function. inside the troubleshooting screen the y axis is always on, whereas x and z are off. im at a loss after reading as much wiki as I could, and scouring the multitude of other limit switch issues- i am finally reaching out to y'all for some help.

    on a side note, with all of my research, i was able to secure a Post Processor for MasterCam/GRBL! so i am pretty excited for that!

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

    What happens if you plug X into the Y port on the BB? Does it still show Y as being triggered?

    Done.

    Is there a common issue related to this problem?

    Not at all, but might have one that slipped through QA, or it got damaged somehow during initial installation (No earlier miswiring incidents that you know of?) They'll sort you our regardless :D
