If there is a choice, I  prefer sourcing outputs and sinking inputs

 

IF, big if, I read some other posts correctly, a sinking input on the board would need to be fed a sourcing output "on the other end". Is this correct?
So, thinking ahead to perhaps buying some new limit switches, they would need to be PNP for sinking inputs on the board...?

On that same note, if the board outputs are sourcing, the inputs on the servo drive would need to be wired in the sinking way?
 

At the very start did you choose XYZ or XYZA machine?
Choose XYZ.
You can also manualy edit the hal and ini files, but requires a bit of attention, although LinuxCNC is very good at pointing what is wrong.

Another look and, still the same.
The X axis moves at a 40-45 degree to spindle center point, it does not move perpendicular to it.
