    Black wire = signal to bob

    If I use this config I get 24v when measuring between black and blue.
    If one switch gets close to steel they all light up and the voltage goes to 0 between black and blue.

    If I use this paralell connection the bob gets supplied with 24v on the output pin?
    Should I instead connect it in series ?
    Can't get my mind around this :)
    Home switches, or limit switches? If all are going to a single input, then limit... What input (although you said output) are you connected to on BOB? E-Stop? Regardless, your BOB is probably looking for 5V, yes? If so, you need to make a voltage divider to take that 24V to ~5V - maybe an 18K/4.7K resistor divider.

    OTOH, I don't know squat about your BOB, controller, etc., so maybe I should just zip it...
