General Mach Discussion / Re: EXTERNAL ESTOP REQUESTED

Thanks for the response Tweakie.
Nothing had changed overnight between uses. Basically with the machine just sitting there, in less than a minute after reset, it would throw the message. It did it all day. In desperation yesterday evening, I did a reset and immediately turned the spindle on. It ran without the message. I used it for a few hours last night with no issue and it sat all night without the ESTOP message.
You must be correct on the noise..... However, it doesn't seem to be in the ESTOP wiring. If I activate the ESTOP wiring, the message indicates "ESTOP PRESSED". The fault I am having is "ESTOP REQUESTED". Do you have any idea what conditions cause Mach3 to give this message?
