I've been facing this problem for a long time. I used to run my "Frankenmitsu" (a Sainsmart Genmitsu frame with an open-build controller). I finally upgraded the frame and got an open-builds lead 1515 kit, and I've finally set it up. It was working with a single switch, and the soft and hard limits were enabled in the firmware. Then, I added two additional limit switches for X and Y. I soldered the connections together. They're in parallel per the documentation. The firmware tells me they've been triggered, and I can't reset them. The machine does work when I disable hard limit switches in the firmware. It's inoperable with hard limits enabled. Here's a short video showing what I'm seeing. https://photos.app.goo.gl/EJgdGTYs8oV2CxNo8 I've tried many of the suggestions on the EMI page, but because it was working with a single limit switch, I suspect something else is the problem. I know that I can use the machine, but I'd like to use it with hard limits enabled. I appreciate any help you guys can provide. Cheers, Dan x32 config: x32 - Pastebin.com
Pictures of the switch wiring, perhaps wired NC vs NO? (Take clear closeups so we can see C, NC, NO labelling on switches or help ID them) We use parallel for Normally Open (NO) switches, and Series for Normally Closed (NC) wiring Also, make sure $5 is set correctly (What is it set to, and then we'll see if that corresponds to how the switches are wired)
Thank you for the quick response, I'm pretty sure they are wired up as NO, I followed this page docs:blackbox-x32:connect-xtension-limit [OpenBuilds Documentation], Code: black:ground red: voltage blue: signal Code: $5=7 ; Invert limit pins, boolean/mask Y limit min, Y limit max, controller connector X max, X min

I was on some old firmware, an update did the trick. I'm only suspicious, with my luck, this was too easy. Thanks for the help Peter.
