Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Sound logic breakout question

The simplest solution is as you said just put another switch just for the
breakout board.

unbeknownst to me he decided he'd use the CNC, he was making a part for his
pocket bike. He hit the start button without turning on the PC and he yelled
the machine is moving. I ran back and hit the E-stop. It was creeping on the
Y and headed for a crash.

active however the control must be on powering the Breakout board before
that can occur. Its a catch 22.
