ok I think I got it.
regarding the pin 44 thing: "Pin 44 forces a reset when shorted to ground so that button was easy enough."
I got that from the M581 guide on dozuki.So if the XYZ endstops are in use already (XYZ axis) I have left E0-6 for my own macro-triggers.
thanks!

Also E7 and E8 on the CONN_LCD connector.

Ah, yes, you're right; Pin 44 on the expansion header resets the Duet when shorted to ground: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_M581_-_External_Triggers_and_Building_a_Control_Panel#Section_Wiring
As you can see from that build, he's wired it direct to the expansion header on the Duet, but you have the ribbon cable which goes to the Duex5 connected there. I can't see this pin broken out anywhere on the Duex5 wiring diagram https://d17kynu4zpq5hy.cloudfront.net/igi/duet3d/3wbm6g2qRUBfSHgw.huge
Though you could solder a wire to the back of the board if you want a hardware reset emergency stop button!Ian

Or you can clamp another 50-way IDC connector on the ribbon cable, giving you access to all the expansion connector pins.

Duet 3 main board pre-order for the next batch (estimated delivery late November) is already open to resellers, and will open to everyone this evening.

and the expansion boards?

I'm not sure about expansion boards, it depends on whether we can finalise the design before Tony leaves for ERRF.
