    You find the Debounce in the General Logic Configuration page right hand top corner
    Mach3's debounce settings are for the parallel port only.

    The Smoothstepper has it's own noise filtering, which he used.

    I did not know he was using a SmoothStepper, these machines are normally basic Parallel port or USB and yes the Smooth Stepper has it's own Noise filtering ( Debounce )

    How do I set up Noise Filtered (debounced) input signals?

    Go to Mach3's Menu -> Plugin Control -> Main Config: ESS-M3-version

    Noise Filtering of inputs (also know as debouncing) will help to eliminate random fluctuations due to noise, by requiring a consistently high input signal before changing the input state high or by requiring a consistently low input signal before changing the input state low. This is very useful in situations where there is a lot of noise that can corrupt signals (like a plasma system), especially for things like limit or home switches, probe signals, EStop, etc...
    Enter values in microseconds (us) that a signal has to be stable for before it has been considered changed. Start with a value of 10 us, and work your way up through 50, 100, 250, 500 or possibly 1000 us (the same as 1 ms). Keep in mind, the higher you go the longer of a delay you are creating before your signal can get through, and this can cause a disaster while probing. If you have more than 100 us worth of noise, you should really look into your wiring and try to rewire or redesign your system to eliminate the noise sources or your wiring's susceptibility to noise.

    I agree, best to make sure you do proper wiring and also choose the correct cable for the application. Placement of items in the box/enclosure is also very important.

    scroll down to Estop & uncheck "Enable".
    Only one problem...it won't let me disable it?

    Correct. You can NOT disable the eStop signal. Safety reasons. But the SS can filter noise out.

    Cheers
