I've got everything working, but when I  hit the E-stop.

The movement stops. No charge pump running, and the E-stop lights on the B_o_B indicate E-stop.


Mach keeps running??? The readouts count along just like nothing happened.

It used to be that when I hit E-stop, Mach went into Reset Mode and you had to clear the switch, and reset Mach.


When  I was trying to get  that pendant board to work a few weeks ago, is when it changed.

What should the inputs really be for the E-stop & Reset mode?

Right now it shows to be an emulated input.

Thanks,

Got it figured out. Wink

When  I was trying to get the pendant to work a while back, it had a interface board that came with the pendant.

It had a sample .XML file and brains & settings.

The pendant never would work with the board.

I bypassed the board and used the pendant directly with the 2nd parallel port.

After looking through the input pins , the E-stop was set for a different pin and checked as " Emulated".

Now all is good.

That is another reason  like buying all of my stuff from the same supplier.
