Greetings; I've been to the wiki, and searched for e-stop, but there isn't very much there except the MAZAK setup as text. I read schematics better.
Does anyone have a suitable schematic link I could adapt for use with this xylotex 4 axis and Steves (PMDX) spindle controller? I still have parport pins 1, 11, 12, & 13 available on the breakout, although, and correct me if I'm wrong, I assume the pin 1 output which is listed in my current my-mill.hal as an e-stop output, which presumably is brought true-low by the enabling press of the f1 key, intended to re-cock the external chain so that an e-stop condition is cleared, and it probably goes away when the key is released. Correct? The 11,12,13 pins I could probably rig for homing switches if I could figure out how to mount and actuate them reliably on this POJ micromill. Or do I need them for a possible e-stop input? It does seem to me we need to tell emc the machine has a tummy ache. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
