The E-Stop input is shorted with a jumper wire by default. If you would like to implement an E-Stop system, we recommend connecting a normally-closed (NC) switch to the E-Stop input.

Multiple Motor Controllers

If your project uses multiple motor controllers with E-Stops, our controllers have been designed so that all E-stops can be wired in parallel to a single button.

Other Considerations

The E-Stop circuit does not physically interact with the supply voltage or the motor connection. You should not wire your motor, or your supply voltage to this circuit.
