The 10 pins are connected to the DB25 pins 10-17 and pin 1, plus a gnd pin. Some of them are pulled up to 5V. The input pins of these would be used for limit's and home switches.

Ok, i think that i got it.

So all the home switches got output from pin 1 like dokuments says (1 O switch)

Wire from there goes to homeswitch and from home switch it goes some of those 10-13, 15. Is that correct?

What are those 4 O NU (pad D2) and 7 O NU (pad D5) ?

I havent tested anything else except X, Y, Z DIR and STEP anad those works just great.

One side of the switch goes to a pad for pin 10 as example the other side of the switch goes to common. The pads are just solder points for unsed DB25 pins.

Have you reviewed the forum on my website for the discrete boards: http://www.pminmo.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=6e32ffc9f3680e7c40106927e525cba7 It may answer some of your questions.
