Title: Mach 3 Configuration
Post by: witelite on March 09, 2011, 11:02:17 AM

Hello all,
I am a total newcomer to CNC.  I have installed Mach3 on my Vanguard 7000 machine and my re-set button will not activate, in that I get a message - "External E-Stop Requested"

Can someone here please direct me down the right road to correction?
Thanks,
Witelite

If you have an E-Stop button on the machine then it is likely you have the wrong pin or port assigned for it, if you dont have a real button, you really should ;) but go to Config menu then Ports and Pins then Inputs. Scroll down to E-Stop and change it to active Low.
