can't see in my Magic glasball witch USB Controller you are using, but i think

Config -> Ports&Pins -> Input signals

are not set correctly (Port or Pin).

         the card has an eagle on it and its red the only name I could find is bitsensor.com
         The driver that I download to mach3 is RnRmotion
         I also used the 5 pin choices on one axis to try to get my limit switch to work

I think you will find that the inputs and outputs are on different port numbers. Do a search for bitsensor on the forum.

Make sure you use a genuine licence file, NOT the one that came with it.
