John K., Thanks the info that you wrote. It got the limit switches functioning.
However, now I have run into another problem. I am running Axis as my interface. Now the limits are working but when I drive an axis into the limits, and try to bring it off of the limit switch, the machine power button is dimmed and I can't bring it out of Estop. It seems like the minute that the limit switch clears, something is being disabled and I can't clear it. If I edit the config and use the original Estop loop back it works fine, but it doesn't like having the real Estop switch enabled. This is what I am using to enable the Estop switch. linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in-not iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in Pin 10 is pulled high on the mini-IO board and goes to one side of the Estop switch, the other side of the Estop switch is connected to ground. The switch is closed when out and open when you hit the Estop. I measured the voltage after it quits working and with the switch open it only measures 0.89 volts. It is like pin 10 is being pulled low by the pc rather than functioning as an input pin. Also, I am using pin 17 from the parallel port to enable my drives (enable high) and I don't see anything that tells emc2 to set that pin. Help!!
