E-Stop input problem

[komatias]

Don't know your BOB but could it be that the e-stop is a pin which needs to receive a positive signal and not be shorted to ground?

Here you go :) User Manual of 5Axis Breakout Board - Mach3I think I'm supposed to loop it to the ground pin. On the manual they say to use pin #10 because they stay coherent with the wiring diagram they show. I might be wrong but I think the wiring diagram doesn't show any power supply involved in the input pins.

Presume you've tried changing the active state.?
Have you tried just putting a jumper wire across pin12 to gnd. This should allow mach to reset and eliminate any wiring issues. If with wire mach doesn't reset then change active state of pin 12 and try again.

Just tried. When I set the estop to active high, Mach3 won't let me click the reset button because it says "e-stop required". When it's active low, same problem as before..

Am I supposed to use the "optional 24V power supply" ?

Oops, sorry wrong link ! Here it is: User Manual of 5Axis Breakout Board - Mach3

Just fixed the problem !!!!! I had to wire and external power supply to the board... duhhhhh ! Now mach3 correctly picks up the signal :D The doc wasn't really clear about this... Weirdly I have to set it to "active high" for it to work... seems counter intuitive, as the button's actually "active" when there is no power.
