I've got a lashed together 3 axis mill/router.
I replaced the Dremel tool with a 12V DC spindle. Now the limit switches (wired to the E-stop input) false triggers when the spindle is loaded rapidly.
I've bonded the spindle supply gnd the motor/controller ground. I've placed a 0.1uF cap across the E-stop loop at the controller. I've placed a fly-back Schotky diode across the spindle motor terminals.
By configuring the E-stop for an active low input and shorting out the switch loop I've proved its the spindle causing the false E-stop signals.
I currently run the E-stop loop open circuit with the switches closing when the axes travel too far.
Can I simply swap the E-stop pin configuration to active low and run the axis limit switches normally closed (opening when they are hit?
Any gotchas?
Thanks
