    I am new to CNC and the Black Box.... I am getting close to getting the CNC machine up an running and have End Stop and E-Stop questions.

    End Stops
    Was wondering if someone can look at my end stop wiring and let me know if I am good or not?

    I did verify in the Black Box the end stop jumper is set to 5v. I have them wired as NO.

    E-Stop
    To start off I am going to use a Maktia RT701C router and want to join it with the Iot Relay - Enclosed High-Power Power Relay to have the Gcode/BlackBox turn the router on and off, etc.

    I want to add an E-stop and wondering what is the best way to add one....

    Thx.

    Inline with Power before your power strip. You never know what will catch fire, so a proper emergency stop should cut ALL power to Everything. Cut the router, controller, heck even the PC

    Switches: NO or NC to SIG, and COM or sometimes labelled C, goes to GND. Grbl setting $5 just has to be set to 1 or 0 relative to using NC or NO.

    Or even easier, get some Xtension Limit Switch Kit
