Mach4 General Discussion / Re: E-Stop is in effect! Clear the E-Stop condition. When Cycle start is pressed??

I believe I have solved this.
The MDI is now working the first try every time so far.
Apparently there is some "better" logic between the Pokeys, ESS, and Mach4 that it likes a little better in regards to the E-stop settings.
I changed the Mach4>Control Configuration>Input Signals>E-Stop to Active Low (which is Pokeys pin 18)
and the Pokeys Plugin Configuration>Pokeys Mapping>Pin18>Inv.pin to "X"
They were opposite, which worked, but it seemed to not like it. Oddly enough this also eliminated one of my bootup messages.
It used to go:
-----ESS: Limit Switch triggered on
E-Stop cleared!
E-Stop condition!
E-Stop cleared!
Now it goes
-----ESS: Limit Switch triggered on
E-Stop condition!
E-Stop cleared!
The ESS still flags and acknowledges an E-stop with the red LED, the same as it did before. So, I think all is good now.
