#148527 - Limit switches
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I would NEVER put limit switches and a microcontroller in sole control of a motor system, they should be failsafes, sure, you can monitor the switches with the micro, but there are too many things that can go wrong and wreck things like your motor drive or hurt people if the load crushes something and doesn't turn off.
