This was bad advice. Although it seemed to work, I eventually realized that the e-stop pin on older boards (2.3 & 2.2) was not simply tied to the RESET pin. There is some logic built in to the boards to disable the steppers when that pin is connected to ground. I was lucky for a long time and didn’t notice it (I press switches fast, I guess). Once I did notice, I spiraled down a hole of searching for bugs in software and then finally noticed the steppers disabling.
Anyway, I’m sorry if anyone followed my lead.
I could probably start cutting traces on the PCB, but my eyes are fried from trying to follow traces so I think I’ll go back to a nice ol’ ~ for now.
