    Seeing as these two are on opposite ends of the controller, sure you didnt just plug in starting from the wrong side?

    As in instead of X/Y/Z/PROBE you started at PROBE/Z/Y and left X open?

    It's not "being connected" that shows as ON, its when the switch is closed/triggered/axis is hitting the switch to indicate end of travel - that's when it light up. If it lights up as ON all the time, check your $5 setting (or change from NO to NC wiring, or NC to NO, depending on what you are doing / which switches you have

    I am using a Duet 2 and after adding new limit switches they show triggered when not engaged and not triggered when they are. Do you know how to change that setting?
