End stop polarity ?
August 21, 2014 04:12PM
My Rostock came with mechanical endstops:



The building instruction warns me on polarity on the Ramps.

i do not understand, it is a make/break switch. How can reversing the wires be any problem ?

Polarity of the switch doesn't matter.

However, the RAMPS has three pins for each end-stop (to support optical
end-stops). So you have power, ground, and signal for each end-stop.

Wire them wrong so the mechanical switch shorts power to ground, and Bad
