#### Disclaimer
This is not a magical button, it can't perform miracles, all it does is send the standard `M112` emergency stop gcode to your printer, how it responds to that is largely up to the firmware. Depending on the control board and firmware, a reset may be required to regain control, or a simple disconnect and reconnect may also work. So called 'blocking' gcodes (such as the heat-and-wait commands) may render this button ineffective (again, largely up to how the firmware handles incoming commands) and so a software solution should never be relied upon to overcome a hardware issue such as a fire or other critical event. There is no substitute for physical human intervention in case of an emergency, and a _pysical_ emergency stop button capable of cutting the incoming power.
