Question: Do you have any tutorial about conecting emergency stop buttom?

Current Solution

We currently do not have a tutorial on setting up the emergency e-stop button, however it works very similar to a limit switch. (limit switch tutorial: https://buildyourcnc.com/PrimeronHomingandLimitSwitches.aspx)

There is 2 sides to the e-stop, first being green NO-Normally Open and secondly being red NC-Normally Closed. From these two sides you will have too choose in which manner you would like to wired the e-stop.
If you plan on smashing the button when there is a problem, (as we all do :D) we would recommend wiring it in normally open - Green side. The wiring is simple, you will only need 2 wires going from GND to the input pin, the orientation of the wires is not as important with these switches.

Setup
Mach 3:
You will go to config/ports&pins/inputsignals, there will be one item in that tab enable, e-stop, you will then enter the pin number and you are done.

Planet-CNC:(with our board) there is not designated pin which we would recommend wiring it directly to the power cord going to your CNC electronic power supply. Wire it in normally open and to the live/load wire.

3rd party board compatible with planet-cnc or a direct planet-cnc board, go to file/settings/general, there you will choose the output pin for your e-stop as stated on the board schematic.

"On a personal note: I have ran into 1 issue once being that they placed the colored covers on the opposite sides, which means that green is red, and red is green. I only ran into this once but I would rather share this info. as a possiblity."

Other Possible Solutions to this Question

Mach3 USB CNC Interface EMERGENCY STOP
To connect an emergency stop (e-stop) to the Mach3 USB controller, use the emergency stop switch/button on the NO (normally open) connections of the switch. Connect one side of the NO connection to IN1 and the other side of the NO connection to the DCM, or GND (V-) of the 24V power supply that is used to power the Mach3 USB controller.

Additional Information:
The configuration in Mach3 should be default if you used the XML file that is here:

DO NEED TO SQUARE UP THE MACHINE AND IF SO YOU HAVE INSTRUCTIONS OR VIDEO FOR THIS?
The eyebolts are used in the squaring of the machine. I would use a standard carpenters square and first run the end mill along the edge of the square to first make it parallel with the long axis. Then run the end mill along the other edge with the short axis and adjust the eye bolts and chain according to the angle that the machine is out of square.

I HAVE NEMA 34 MOTORS BUT NEED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DO YOU A KIT WITHOUT INCLUDED?
If you are looking for the drivers to pair with NEMA 34 stepper motors, you can find the 6.0 amp drivers here:
https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-stepper-driver-6!0a

The other electronics to send the signals to the 6.0 amp drivers (the control board that operates with the control software) is subject to personal preference, but here they are listed:

Our breakout board (works with Mach3 and LinuxCNC and requires a parallel port on your computer):

DO YOU HAVE BLACKTOE MACHINES WITH TABLES READY TO GO OR HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE MAKE ONE?
Yes, we have the optional table for the blackToe, but we need to fabricate it, which only takes one day. We generally reserve one week for the total fabrication and packing of all parts.

HOW DO I WIRE THE 4TH AXIS THAT YOU SELL. I HAVE MACH3 SOFTWARE. NO INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR SITE
The motor that is attached to the 4th axis is wired as follows:

The motor should have red, green yellow and blue wires coming form the motor. The red and green are paired as one coil and the yellow and blue is paired as the other coil. You can wire the motor to a 3.0 amp driver with red to A+, green to A-, Yellow to B+ and Blue to B-

WHAT CAUSES RINGING IN YOUR EAR AND HOW CAN YOU STOP IT?
Tinnitus . Learn to love it. No really you should see a doctor. Make sure. White noise will help you sleep when it gets loud.

Additional Information:
I learned, too late, that if a sudden loud event causes tinnitus, see an audiologist IMMEDIATELY. They can do something about it if addressed within a day or so.

Wear hearing protection...always. Loud noises trigger my tinnitus, and headphones and ear plugs (when out & about or at the movies, subway, etc) help tremendously. Mine are rated 33dB.

I DON'T HAVE A PARALLEL PORT ON MY COMPUTER. WHAT DO NEED?
If your computer does not have a parallel port, all you will need is a low cost PCI parallel adapter card (these can be found on amazon for $15-$20). If you plan on using a laptop (not recommended) you can try to find a PCMCIA parallel adapter, but many people have frequent issues with this setup. A more expensive solution would be to purchase a USB smooth stepper board. Unfortunately, we do not supply any of these adapters and cannot attest to their reliability.
