Limit Switches
Limit switches have many uses on a robot or mechanism.
Limit Switch Pinout
The inputs on the VMX FlexDIO and Titan are pulled high, with the Titan having hardware debounce correction. When wiring the limit switch it is recommended to wire ground to common and signal to normally open.
Limit Switch Configuration
The limit switch has three ways it can be configured for use.
