E-Stop Enabled but Does Not Respond

E-Stop Enabled but Does Not Respond was created by miketim
Guys, this is my first post, please correct me if need be.
I've configured LinuxCNC for Syil X5 Speedmaster (a small CNC mill).
After setting up the pins and testing the XYZ axis, all looked good: axis did move correctly.
As soon as I fire up the LinuxCNC Axis GUI, the 'E-Stop toggle button' on the GUI remains pressed and the 'Power button' is disabled.
What trouble shooting steps would you recommend?
Many thanks!
Michael

Can you post your HAL file? It is probably the e-stop loop in there.

Does your machine use the e-stop or power connections?
If your config is not useing those connections the e-stop pins still need to be looped back to them selves in the software.
I think examples of this can be found in some of the sample simulation configs. (or used to be before they were all switched to hal.tcl files.)

Or when making the config, do not set any of the input pins as e-stop.

I'll post the HAL file this evening - I am not at the machine right now. Thanks!

The machine has e-stop button (physical) and also has connection on the breakout board for e-stop.
The Mach3 e-stop software button worked fine. So I assume I screwed up somewhere with the setup.
I did configure one of the pins as e-stop out, but not sure if it's the right one (am I good or what).
Also I configured a correct input pin for e-stop as well.

Here's the HAL file for my config.
I am still learning so it still is not really clear to me.
Thanks for all your help!

It looks like you need to change the state of parallel port pin 11. What is that wired to?
You could try inverting the sense of pin 11 if it is wired up and you are happy with the circuit.

Awesome, it worked! Thanks so much!
The axis speeds are soooo slow though.
In calibration dialog I increased the scale from 4000 to 100000. Then the axis started moving faster.
I am not sure if that's the right way to adjust the speeds, though.
How would you do it guys?

That isn't normally the right way to change speeds, because it also changes the distance moved. The max velocities for your config is set in several places in your ini file. In the [TRAJ], [AXIS_n], and [JOINT_n] (if you are using Master). Look for MAX_VELOCITY and STEPGEN_MAXVEL

Remember the numbers for these settings are in machine units / SECOND, not per minute. So they will be inches/sec or mm/sec. If you input them as /min you should multiply them by 60.
