Wiring the OX
Wiring Phase & Diagrams
I like to start the wiring phase with a schematic of the overall build interconnections.These are helpful starter links;

Endstop Wiring
From the Synthetos forum:
Wire the limit switches between the ground and the switch inout – e.g. Xmin, Xmax, Ymin…
Note if the switch is Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) and set the $st setting for the proper switch type. All switches must be the same type. We recommend NC switches as they provide better noise immunity from false triggers.
You will want to pay attention to switch wiring, as the wiring can pick up noise and fire if not done well. The RC circuits described above help a lot, but motor or spindle noise can creep in. The best strategy is to use twisted pair shielded cable. I have found guitar pickup cable to work well as it is all that plus it’s very small and flexible.
These pages provide some useful information:

Just a place to drop these for now.
