Small glitch with limit switch

I picked up a small problem with some of the limit switches that's already been mailed / delivered.  All of them have been tested before packaging but it seems like a small problem still creeped in, despite the successful testing.  Some seems to not function properly.

Just a short note, if you start using your dolly and the SMC controller just turns off without the limit switch hitting the end, please unplug the limit switch from the SMC and notify me as soon as possible. Use the dolly and SMD with out the Limit switch for now.

The problem that is occurring lies in the connector that goes to the SMC.  There is nothing wrong with the SMC!

I tried my best to source a good quality 2,5mm male stereo jack but being in South Africa it is very challenging to find the sealed units. If your's is faulty please send back the cable and I will fix it for you soonest.  It's nothing major ;-)

I've changed suppliers of the plug and am busy testing at this moment a new one, and it seems like all is working perfect.

--- LATER ---

It's been running now for more than 3 hours up and down the rail, continuously and it looks like it's all good.

So if you like you can send your cable (limit switch cable ONLY) back if it's faulty and I can fix it for you. Alternatively give me a call and I can explain how to fix it as it's very easy to do.
