Does anyone know how hard it is to hook-up an E-stop on a Hobby CNC 4-axis pro board? I'm using Mach3.
Thanks Mike

You have pin holes that are labeled on the left of the board, or, the terminals for home and limit. I thnk theyre pins 12-15+GND If your machine is setup properly, you need 3 homing swithes and software limits, leaving you with one open terminal. You can hookup a normally open or normally closed (normally closed is better) and assign it in mach3 that that pin is your estop. Its in the port i/o settings. Plug in a switch, the terminals need no pullup resistor...Im using an arcade button.
For me its X home = 12, Y home = 13, Z home = 14, Estop = 15. All switches are tied together to the GND terminal.
That help?
