What's a good way to do an emergency stop with my Carve King to prevent damage to the machine? I'm guessing that some options are: - Disconnect power
- Install an emergency stop (big red button)
- Manually trigger a Homing switch
Any thoughts on a good method? Thanks...

If you ran a switch (not a momentary switch) between the red wire that runs from the power supply barrel plug adapter to the red board's screw terminal you could E-stop power to the motors.

Does the Carve King run on the same Arduino+Driver boards that the M3 runs on? If so, there's a jumper on the driver board for "E Stop". Your momentary or latched big red button gets wired to that, you press it, all power to the motors shuts off for a few seconds (if latched, I imagine the power would stay off until unlatched, I have a momentary). I use this setup on my M3 and it works fine.
Hope this helps!

I prefer to use the "Hold" signal so it doesn't totally shut down the project and just pauses it.
