See:
Another suggestion for using one of the Aux pins.
When my Maslow messes up, it’s usually because the chain fouled and gets tangled in itself. When this happens, I need to do three things.
Stop the chain from getting worse
hit the “Hold” button (but the machine keeps going until the end of the current command)
Stop the router from cutting while it’s out of position.
This requires me to be in three places at once.

I have made a box to hold all the electronics for my Maslow.
It contains
3 PSU’s (5V, 12V & 48V)
Arduino & Maslow Board
Raspberry Pi 3 with Touch screen LCD
Spindle Controller with switches
Emergency stop for Motors and Spindle
Here are some pictures

Please let me know if you would like a detailed write up with schematics and CAD? (No points spending a few hours if nobody is interested…)
I know there is a picture of a power cutoff button mounted on a Maslow in the upper left corner.
You are much better off killing power to everything then asking software to perform some function. You don’t know if the emergency is caused by a failure in the software.
Thank you
