Any Way to Disable Steppers?

I've got my Gerbil working pretty well and want to make a few more mods to my machine.

One of them is a physical switch or G Code macro to disable the steppers.

I was wondering if the enable pins on the step sticks are connected to any arduino pin? Or a jumper somewhere?

I added visible red laser sight to make centering on odd shaped objects easier but to move the carriage I have to shut the power switch. I really hate doing that so often...

 

Heres the little K40 hiding in my basement.

Never mind. I just found the schematics under the download section.

Enable is connected to D8 so I just had to set $1=250.........
