For the spindle you just have one pin that activates the relay on board. My relay (or the relay driver) does not work very well.
    As v0ynich says, you need to determine which pins of the DB9 correspond with which pins on the parallel port. This should be in the chinglish manual that came with the board (boards can be quite different in how the DB9 is configured so it is best to consult your manual). I hook it up and use the Mach3 diagnostics screen to work out what parallel port pin each limit is on by opening/closing switches and seeing what pin goes red on the diagnostics page... (well I did 18 months ago which was the last time I played with my setup)

    It does not really matter which limit you allocate to each, since you setup Mach3 (or whatever) to match how you have wired it.

    I use a single pin with all limits (normally-closed microswitches) wired in series. This is the best configuration as if anything goes wrong with the wiring or the switches the machine will let you know before things get dangerous...

    Good luck!

    Thank you to both

    I bought this Chinese board in 2009 and never used it because the 2 page "manual" was useless. Now I'm building my 3rd CNC and thought to try it again with the info from this thread.

    It is unlikely that I will use it because of the low voltage / amps but right now I don't know
