I’m upgrading an older machine to the superlongboard and the connectors for the limit switches and axis control are different. What is the type of connector for the z, y2 etc? 2.) how do I wire it if y2 isn’t available yet? My setup is 4 wire right now and I’m not familiar with the original longb…

Hey all @cncdm @JohnOCFII @BrunRM thanks for the input on where the docs could use improvement :beers: I noted down the changes I could make and just got done posting them up today to hopefully add far more clarity to the options available for Limit Switch hookup. Please check it out and give me an…

Here’s a shot of my old rs485 connector. I don’t know how to make a cable that connects my VFD to the SLB using an Ethernet connector. The next shot is my two wire limit switch. I don’t know if I only use two wires on JST or if I need new cables. If I use the auxiliary terminal, which wires get con…

I’ve been over the manual for it and my answer isn’t in there. I’ve got nc/no limit switches wired with two wires to my older grblhal controller but I don’t understand if I’m to use the JST connections and if so, which pins, or if I can use the the larger limit switch plug with VCC, X, Y1, Y2, Z, A,…

Have you found an answer? I’ve been trying to understand how to connect rs485 and nc/no limit switches for a few weeks and haven’t heard anything from support. Starting to wonder if I’m going to miss my return window if it isn’t possible but the slb page says it should be compatible with most machin…

@cncdm You should open a support ticket if you haven’t already.

I have not heard more. As for the rs485, I can only say to be patient. And, as was suggested, to open a support ticket.

@cncdm What machine are you running? Be sure to include that in your support request. I assume that the section on RS485 in the SLB manual didn’t give you the info that you need.

Support ticket has been open since late April. The follow up time is roughly a whole week though. And I thought I had it bad with Bulkman 3d. No there’s no mention of how you splice the rs485 cable into an rj45 connector. The function of the limit switch pins seems simple enough too, but not a wor…

@cncdm via the manual there are two ways to get the RS485 output, either via the jack or the provided connector on the board that requires no crimping just a flathead screwdriver: Technical Manual - SuperLongBoard [image] For the limit switches are they NC or NO? I wouldn’t advise mixing and matc…

[image] Switch is just labeled 1 2 and 3. 1 to red and black to 2. I honestly forget what position that is but I’ll look soon Is there a manual beyond the setup? I didn’t see the part about using a screwdriver connection These are the three jacks I received [image] I don’t have the the a- and…

Yes there’s the Setup or ‘Switch over’ procedure page for guidance on typical setups, then there’s a much more in-depth ‘Manual’ page that goes over everything in much more detail for people doing more custom setups or in-depth customization, it’s the page I linked in my last comment Your sensors l…
