I cannot Un-Emergancy Stop [X] or Press Power [ | ] in Linux CNC

Hi,

I cannot seem to un-press LinuxCNC (In Axis GUI) screen Emergency Stop [X] to turn on screen Power Button [ | ] to start the machine for manual control. I tried pressing [F1] and [F2] quite a bit, with no change. The limit switches work, and are not in a tripped state when I am trying to start it.

I suspect that it's the estop config in the .hal is holding it back.
I've seen threads on estop hal settings, but it's really hard to know when the example needs correction and it's not quite what I want to do.

My setup is a parallel port isolator card. Tempoarily, I just have a wire jumping the terminals p13 to GND to simulate a NC switch.

What I want to do (in the final setup) is use a hardware switch to do an softer emergency-stop stopping LinuxCNC/Axis.
I have not need to send any signals out to hardware--only to tell the GUI to flip the GUI Estop, and stop banging out additional steps.

(I also have a hardware real e-stop, which opens a relay killing the power to the drivers and (future) spindle, yet I want to use a soft-emergency switch, with the hardware the relay switch if all else goes wrong.)

According to the hall utility, the signal is reporting FALSE. Actually, I tried it both ways. The board is doing its job reading the...um...wire bridge.

I suspect I have something wrong with the .hal. The estop section was initially prepared by stepconf. I changed a name, but in two places, which changed nothing, as well.
I thought the problem might be that I wasn't sending the signal out to any pin in the 2nd line. I tried commenting it out, but there was no change, either.

These are the current estop-lines:
net estop-in <= parport.0.pin-13-in

(skipping further down...)

net estop-out <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
net estop-in => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

[My setup is otherwise strange because I have step-up step-down drivers, but I don't think that that's the problem, because I can't even disengauge the screen Emergancy Stop [X] button, yet.

Thanks for reading this far : )

The pin " iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in" needs to be driven true for the machine to come out of E-stop.

Thank you : )

I got the same problem.
What does it mean by "needs to be driven true"
Is it related to changes in .ini
Or
It's about hardware must be connected

Put this in your hal file.
