LinuxCNC Observations and Questions

Yeah, that works for me as well.

I was able to load some G-code and found that the Estop-In function is useless. It seems to have no affect. I may have to rethink this and use this switch to power off the motor power supply.

Try E-stopping using the escape button on the keyboard. That may tell us if it is an issue with the switch, the computer, or something else.

I think this is a software issue.

The keyboard F1 button stops everything.

If I start the LinuxCNC app with the E-Stop button pressed, it recognizes it and won't do anything until I release it.

If I put an axis in continuous mode and press the "+" button to move the motor, it runs. Hitting the E-Stop button does nothing until I try to reverse the direction, then the software recognizes the button was pressed and stops everything.
