Hey,
i'm running LinuxCNC 2.9.4 on a Raspberry Pi 5 in combination with a Mesa Card 7i96S.

I seem to be doing something wrong with my limit switches.
When i manually trigger one Switch all LED's to the coresponding pins to the 4 Limit switches on the board turn on.
They are wired to the board as seen in the picture following
X = 0 / Y1 = 1 / Y2 = 2 / Z = 3
The VCC and Ground are wired in parallel to the 5V and Ground the Mesa card is connected to.

Any help would be appreciated.

See the 7i96S manual for inputs, the inputs are isolated from the rest of the board. 7i96S inputs can be used as "switched to ground" or "switched to VCC" so wire them accordingly.
And disconnect the switches from +-5V, normally home/limit switches are powered from VField and usually from 24V as it is better to protect from interference's, but they will also work with 5V.

You do not have the 7I96s input common (TB3 pin 12) connected.
The isolated inputs will not function properly without this connected.
