    You all have been very helpful in my previous "small hurdles" hopefully this is the right forum?

    Ok here is my current G-code:

    Code:
    begin HEADER
    "T1"
    "G17"
    "G21"
    "G90"
    "M8"
    "M3"
    "G04 P7000"
    "G0[ZH]"
    "G0[XH][YH]"
    +---------------------------------------------------
    + Commands output for rapid moves
    +---------------------------------------------------
    begin RAPID_MOVE
    "G0[X][Y][Z]"
    
    When I run a file using this PP, The M8 and (G04 P7000) Pause command has no effect on the machine, I hit run, and it immediately raises the spindle it starts and begins to cut into the material WITHOUT triggering the coolant or pausing?

    The quirky thing is I can turn on the coolant from the openbuilds software using the M8 command? I am using the coolant triggering from the BB I am stumped is the code written wrong.

    Confirm that the resultant gcode does contain the commands?
    (accidentally loaded wrong gcode into CONTROL? Post not outputting gcode correctly?, etc)
