saving it to the device I think

Still trying to figure out how to turn the laser on without being in Mach3. When it is connected through Mach 3, if you open the IO status window in the PoKeys software, and you turn the "coolant" button (output that I have connected to the laser) on and off, the status window shows the pin turning on and off. So there's got to be a way to switch this on and off when not connected through Mach 3.

Wouldn't you think that as soon as you enable the output button in the PoKeys software, it would turn it on immediately and then you'd use a switch to control it on and off?

I'm definitely missing something..lol!

Ok, it does in fact come on immediately but you have to "save to device" first before it works!  :D

Hood:
LOL, well reason it wasnt working for me when I tried was because my LED was loose in the connector LOL. I went into Mach and it still didnt work but found the loose leg and now it does :)
