    How would I wire E-stop to the Black Box X 32? I've had to hit my X-controller E-stop more than once and like the safety net feeling of having one. Might be too late relying on the abort function in Control Software.

    Emergency stops should always cut POWER
    In case of a real emergency you don't want to depend on software (or even a switch wired to the controller, still subject to Firmware) and the issue might even be downstream from a controller. What if an overloaded power strip catches fire? Or the emergency is someone shocking

    Wall outlet > E-Stop > power strip > Everything else :)
    Easiest option: https://www.rockler.com/safety-power-tool-switch between the wall and your power strip
