    Hello all,

    I'm a newbie to cnc and just finished building my OpenBuilds 1515 and have run into a problem.

    I setup my limit switches and manually tested each, receiving a warning on my computer for each switch when tripped. After testing the switches, I hit the home command, and the machine crash thru the switches.
    I'm using the Openbuild control software, Blackbox 32.
    Can anyone advise what may be wrong?

    Thanks,

    Larry

    first, are the switches placed on the correct axes?
    ie the switch on X shows up as the X switch in the test screen? and same for Y and Z?
