    Syil X3 Mill Erratic EStop Fix

    Hi All Syil X3 Users,

    I had a problem with a false EStop signal getting from my Syil X3 Mill into Mach3 after I switched off the machine. The false signal prevented me from resetting the EStop immediately after I switched the mill so that I could do a "dry run" of G Code to test for any edits that I may have done on the fly.

    This annoyed the hell out of me so I did something about it.

    Read the info in the link to my website below if you are interested.

    (I have given up trying to post attachments the this forum and now post links to a url that works for me).

    Kind Regards

    Chrisjh

    Another good write up Chris.

    I used a 0.01uf capacitor in the same place to achieve a stable Estop signal.

    Rock solid now.
