 ==== Emergency Signal ====
-The emergency signal is used to bring the application in a safe mode. We put this input signal on a digital input pin which is connected to the on board push button //Pause//. Later when the application runs we can cause the safety system to switch to an emergency state by pressing the //Pause// button.
