Mach refusing to detect an E-stop input

I did it's in there with the its been working fine. E stop is wired between ground and 10 as described above. It's set to port 1.

Well it seems you don't wan't to answer questions. No one has a crystal ball. re. "I've got 5.5v between pin 4 and pin 10," I don't think that is the correct place to get the 5v The inputs should show about 5V between a pin and ground. The reason for asking if the 12-24V is connected is that the inputs pins won't work without it.

Well you directed at myself as you declared I've not answered my own question (Rob which is me), a little confusing. As I've said before I'm going off what others have declared to measure between on previous posts and yes the 24V is connected and into the correct pins.

Hi RobC,

are any of the other inputs working ? Homes and limits that is.

Hello! Well I didn't rewire any in but I've just done so as an experiment and they trip the stop function no problem. So that got me thinking, I'll try wiring 24v straight across the E-stop and bypassing ground and that works fine so I've got that wired as such now to trip the E-stop.

It is a good job those BoBs are cheap.

I ordered a second one as a means of maybe outright swapping this one, other than that I'ts not been too bad! I've had endless issues with mach and it doing random things like stalling on a G21 command making me restart the program to solve it. Now you've got me working on putting in my limit switches again as I've been working on where I knew it would crash and then making my work well within such limits.

I'm endlessly amused by the things Mach3 "refuses to do" :D

[RobC]

If I wasn't so broke with flying real planes I'd of long moved on from it, really fed up with the little issues I have with it!

Ok I am not prepared to get into mind games. Good luck
