Hi Tom,

Could you tell me how to determine the hex addresses for my limit switches?

I have 2 each on two axis and they use bits 72,73,74 & 75 on the SnapAmp JP7 connection.

Thank you,
David.

Hi David,

If you can't understand the description in the KMotionDef.h file the best approach is to let the KMotion Config Screen do it for you.  Set the parameters on the screens and push the 

C Code -> Clipboard Button

Then paste the results of all the parameters into a C Program.  You will also need to know the polarity of the switches (does your circuit flow current through the optos when in the limit or out of the limit).

Thanks Tom.

The switches I have are PNP style.

Hi Tom,

Could you please clarify the connection scheme for the opto isolated limit switches? I have mine wired with the 12V signal from the switch to the opto input and the corresponding opto output wired to ground.

I thought this would energize the "state" when the switch activated, but the digital I/O shows all switches in an active state without any voltage.

Thanks,
David.

Hi David,

I believe the SnapAmp Opto inputs are negative true.  Apply +12V to the Opto PLUS and GND to the Opto NEG pins and the Input should go false.
