So have you seen the amount of K.I.S.S. (read as brilliance) in those $4 opto coupled relays that I use yet? The trigger pin can be set high or low AND you can use the NO/NC relay output terminals (daisy chained into a NC feed for the input) to sort out any active/non-active logic from differing fault signals. It's lumberjack programming logic. ;)

That, and the Canadians seem to do everything backwards. :lol:
Hi Gary. Can you offer a link to where you explain this method of sorting out different fault signals?

I would like to figure out the most simple method of getting my machine up and working. I am completely lost when it comes to this type of electronics issue, but I am eager to learn.

Any direction that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
