Describing my situation. But what would also be very helpful is a translation from a stepgen.0.step or dir to the corresponding gpio in case a signal needs inverted. That may jump around with the firmware installed, and I couldn't recall which is installed 4+ years later with a gun to my head. Now I have a new status signal to monitor, which I assume is a logic zero (closure to ground) at the drivers output when the driver is tripped. I ran it into the chuck yesterday, which tripped it of with zero theatrics, and a power cycle which I can do with the F2 key, resets it. I am gradually converting all my machines so the motor power is removed if F2 is off. And of course un-homing them at the same time. Seems like I should do something creative with it, but not sure what other than a red/green pyvcp led tally. I's quite a few of those already... Ideas considered.
