Hi I have set up nc limit switches to a 6040 cnc with a bitsensor breakout board. Cannot get Mach 3 to recognise the switches. I have been through ports and pins a dozen times makes no difference. Connections on Bitsensor board are common to DCM and signal to in2. Hope somebody can help.

Sorry bit above my pay grade Spindle runs through a VFD. I have set up Mach 3 as per chinese instructions and it seemed to be behaving itself. It finished off the roadrunner. Now I cannot set the spindle speed just zeros all the time
