This can be done by just mapping Mach4 outputs (Feed hold, G-Code Running, Machine Idle etc.) to the outputs of your controller to which the light is connected

To get a light to flash it would have to be done in the signal library using a wxTimer.

thank you
Feed hold and G-Code Running I can find, but Machine Idle is not in the Output settings
