So I'm gonna ask the same question since Nigel figured it out, but I haven't.  I have a TB6560 BoB with all the steppers working through MACH3, but this question is the last sticking point for me.  How do I physically wire from the BoB to my Plasma Cutter, the "switch" connection on/off button to get it to turn on on command from MACH3 via the BoB (Break out Board).

Thanks in advance for the help.
