I'm currently using the bob pictured in this thread running W10.  All is working fine.  I'm new to gcode.  Is it possible to write gcode of just using one output to a relay to turn on /off 250mls, on/off 250mls then on?

Looking for a 6axis+spindle breakout board for Mach3--Windows 10  Prefer US, but will use china, amazon? 

I would like to send multiple signals to a relay.  Example: 1 signal would =action A, 2 signals would =action B and so on.  Is it possible to send a set of signals between gcode lines using the spindle output?  Or can I send that same type of signal through an output port pin and get the same result. Basically a series of output signals on same line of code.

Thanks for responding.  I'll look into that.

I'm using a program that enables a person to grab the arm of a 5 axis machine and record a path while moving it by hand.  The problem I'm having is the encoders read every jagged movement that I make.  For example a straight line in gcode is pretty clean, but when I pull/push the machine it might be 300 lines of g-code. 

My question:  Is there software that would take my generated g-code/path and clean/smooth it up and make a jagged path to a smooth vector and generate new g-code? 
The finished g-code tolerance could be +/- .250'' max.
