Overview
Needed fancier E-Stop with hold switch and RGB status LEDs for my Thanos AMC controller and this project was born!
All other designs were too boring, also did not see any with lighted E-Stop, so challenge accepted. The kill switch I use has RGB led, so supports three different colors - same as needed for the Thanos controller! It also comes with Force Offline switch, should you ever need it. Furthermore both of the switches use 5V LEDs so ne need to solder resistors.
This was designed to use the standard RJ-45 pinout that both Thanos AMC and 4U controllers currently support, tested with my AMC, work flawlessly!
Update V1.1 - 21.01.2026
By suggestion of our user Jérôme Donisa added versions for 16mm and 19mm push button for easier access, update files available on the Patreon link!
