Is that 7i76 have inputs that tolerate 12 volts? /Most/ logic inputs are 5 volt rated, and putting in 12 volts from the psu thru a limit switch may toast the input. And may toast more... Generally all that stuff should be running on 5 volts. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
