Endstops don't work.

Endstops don't work.
October 25, 2012 02:14PM
I just finished putting together the kit I purchased from MakerFarm.com, and started testing the motors. They seem to work fine, but the mechanical endstops I'm using don't seem to work. I have tested the endstops themselves with a multimeter, and they seem to work fine. I've tried inverting them in the firmware (Sprinter), but saw no change.

Specs:
I'm using RAMPS 1.4, with Sprinter and Pronterface. Attached are a couple of pictures of the set-up.

Please let me know if there is any important info I missed.

On the endstop the NC pin goes to GND pin on the ramps and C pin on the endstop goes to SIGNAL on the ramps!

It's that simple

Well, even though I tried that before, to no avail, it worked this time. Thanks for the help.

Switches have no polarity, so reversing the contacts should not be expected to have an effect.

why are you replying to a week old thread that HAS been resolved?

To point out a technical inaccuracy that might otherwise serve to confuse and misdirect future readers.

Why are you offering information about technical subjects you obviously don't understand?
