Ok....so it didn't work. I removed the resistor and led so now I just have the switch. That didn't work either but I ran into a problem that maybe someone here could explain.
I tried taking 5vdc from my powersupply and tried to use this for the 5v to enable the G340 drives. But this would not enable the drives? So I tried taking the 5v from my breakout board and this would not enable the drives either but it would allow the button the enable activate the estop when the button was released.
What I want is the push button to feed 5vdc to the drives and set the system so that the estop could be turned off. Then the drives would hold the line at 5vdc keeping the estop from triggering. Then if one drive faulted they all 3 would stop and it would trigger an estop in Mach3.
I found that the only way I could get the drives to enable was to pull the 5v from the encoder 5v on one of the drives and then feed this through the momentary switch. Then split this out to the 3 drives along with feeding it to the breakout board to go to mach3.
This works in linking the 3 drives together and if one faults then they all 3 fault but it will not trigger an estop in Mach. The software keeps on going?
What am I missing? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
