6-pack/6x CNC Controller for FluidNC

Machine Description

Langmuir systems MR-1 CNC mill. Looking to replace the controller board for greater functionality. Need to know if the firmware can be set up to accommodate two stepper motors and two limit switches for the Y axis, and if yes, then how.
Thank you.

Other Information

I have not purchased the board yet. I want to know if the board can accommodate the situation described above before I spend the money on something that won't work.
Also, the VFD spindle must support both CW and CCW operation.
Thank you.
