    Hi, I bought 6 of the OpenBuilds Xtension Limit Switches and want to use them on a Centroid Acorn board-driven CNC.
    So I connect the V+ and Grnd, where do I connect the blue Sgnl wire?

    Refer your controller's manual.
    V+ = power for signal pullup and filtering circuitry
    GND = Ground
    SIG = the endstop signal (Goes LOW [GND] when switch is triggered, otherwise pulled up to V+)

    Thanks.
    Is there any way to alter the switches to be normally closed? I liked the noise filtering but would prefer NC, because NO means if the switch fails it won't be discovered until a crash.

    Ours are Normally open, no way to change.
