I have notice that the Mendel design calls for only three opto-endstops however the mcwire and darwin (if memory serves) designs call for 6. Has there been a change to the firmware that allows for only three endstops? I plan to build mcwire to bootstrap mendel and am wondering if I need to buy 6 endstops or if I can get by using three. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35028#msg-35028 Thu, 08 Oct 2026 22:22:18 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35148#msg-35148 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35148#msg-35148 spaztik Mechanics Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:47:59 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35041#msg-35041 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35041#msg-35041
The other three are for the maximum points. they can be defined in code if necessary, but it's more fail-safe to have endstops.]]> Triffid_Hunter Mechanics Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:33:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35028#msg-35028 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,35028,35028#msg-35028 spaztik Mechanics Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:30:25 -0500
