Is it possible you have a bad version of LinuxCNC?
(since it seems to be a quite old version when master was 2.9)
but in BOTH cases, the limit switch is shown working in halmeter of pncconf
Did you mean halmeter or pncconf?

*in both cases the switch is clearly working in pncconf
- I am totally stumped - i guess it could be a bad version of linuxcnc? I havent had any issues with it since setting it up for the first time, only now with this second mesa board. You recommend I update linuxcnc? Will try to do so tomorrow morning

"Minimum limit" is not the same as home (which is a bit weird, I suppose).

Just avoid 2.9.5 because it has a bug.
Though you can probably get away without reinstalling LinuxCNC.

As a data point, your config1 and config2 (MODLATHE and taig_new)
works as expected with LinuxCNC 2.9 and Master with a 7I96S
and I can alternate running MODLATHE and taig_new without
issue.
That is, the inm inputs work properly on both.

Hmm.... I am on 2.9.2 which i believe is stable right? I am debating just doing a clean reinstall of everything at this point?
Are you specifically using like 2.9.0? Should I try that?

The hal file text showed 2.9 master, not a standard release.

Strange.
Maybe you just had a corrupt installation or something.
All's well it ends well.
