Locate limit switch inside of base #10

Closed jasonwebb closed 6 years ago

I can hear what sounds like a limit switch clicking consistently when the arm is rotated about it's base, but it it must reside inside the base itself. Should probably crack it open and verify that it's there and in good condition.

Limit switch looks to be in great condition! It's found in a somewhat awkward spot behind the main drive pulley of the base shaft. I assume that there is a protrusion (or two) of some kind on that side of the pulley that actuates the switch in two positions.
