end stop connector may have been reversed
What symptoms do you have when you may have installed the end stop connectors with the wrong polarity? Does the whole board fail, does it look normal but some functions don't work anymore?

Do you have little LEDS on the stop board? does it light up when you press the switch with your finger? It depends on the miss-wiring, what it might have messed up. Depending on which wires you hooked up where, a V+ could have been switched directly to the input signal, but the board should have protection for that to limit current. (key word there is 'should' but you never know (nor do I know what board you are using)

Thanks. I'm asking because there are big warning on the build instructions that say if this isn't right it can damage the board. I am on the octopus 1.1. I just got everything connected on my new build and am not getting comm to the board from my pi so I am just trying to figure out what is going on

This is the the way the plug is wired. White on the outside red on inside.

But in manual it looks like this. I don't see any lights when I have it plugged in.

Nevermind. It works as wired. I'll make a comment in the manual thank!
