    Sorry I admit I have been a bit vague.

    My main issue was how to wire up 6 limit switches to only 4 inputs but after a bit more research I now realise there are multiple ways I can do it. Now I know that I can do multiple switches in a series I think I should be ok.

    I should be ok with the linux bit as the stepconf wizard is nice and easy when setting up the parallel port pin id's. However if I'm wiring X+, Y+ and Z- in series then what option would I choose for that input?

    The switches I'm using a only basic, in fact they probably aren't the best for my machine as they aren't lever type ones, just a small plunger. But they are all I could get my hands on for free!

    The images show the limits mounted in x and y, I haven't yet mounted the z as I need to make a suitable bracket first.
