For end stop switches, buy the homing kit and then turn on soft limits. As far as an E-stop goes, place it in series before the drivers. Unless you have a spindle, then it needs to be somewhere else as to not ruin it.

I find the Pause input signal to work well as an Emergency Pause. If you wire up a standard E-Switch there is a N.O. and a N.C. contacts. Run the router through the N.C. side and the pause signal to the N.O. side.
This shuts down the router and stops the stepper motors. But it doesn't kill the whole operation. After resetting the E-Switch you can un-pause the control and keep on going.

Just FYI: That port labelled "E-stop" on the red port will act more as just a reset than a true, power breaking e-stop. You would be better off with the e-stop in-line with the + of the DC voltage going to the red board from the power brick.

Well that would kill power to the control unit and you would have to re-home your machine to restart again. Here is a drawing that I used for a while before I setup the VFD. You will need to get an extension cord and modify it with the hot wire (Black) running through the N.C. side of the E-Switch. Then wire to the "Hold" input signal on the CNC Shield board to the N.O. side of the E-switch. Leave the input 24v power as is.  |

Abort stops cycle. E stop is just a reset of the control (on that board). Hold is a pause. Resume releases the pause. They can all be wired as momentary contact switches.

I just wired up the input to the "Hold" Feed. Resume can be done in the software by clicking on the Pause or Hold button to continue running the cut.
