E-Stop Enabled but Does Not Respond

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.
