Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC E-Stop and stepper machine setup

One thing that you could do is connect toggle switches to the limit and
Estop lines on the parallel port. Then flip each switch one at a time and
check to see if you can get out of Estop. You could have "noise" causing a
false signal and the switches would cure that.
