Re: custom button panel

I'll second the eStop CCI board, we've used it for the past 4 or so years on all our button boxes. It's incredibly easy, no need to do anything with the board besides plug it into a computer.

I would recommend the Dashboard be used for autonomous switching - it saves physical space on the custom button box as well as button inputs. Also if you decide to add an autonomous mode (or 24), it's easier to add an option virtually than physically.
