    I am wrapping up a pretty big upgrade to my OpenBuilds 1515 CNC. I have relocated my BlackBox Motion Controller 4x into an enclosure along with relays for turning on the router and dust collection. I also included E-Stop pushbuttons and relay. One contact of the E-Stop relay will be wired to the "Door" sensor input. Upon testing the router (tool) output came on but the coolant did not. I have the following questions / issues:
    1.) How do I enable the "Coolant" output? I see that "M8" and "M9" is required and I enabled them in OpenBuilds CAM software. How do I get this to the Motion Controller? Will this always be enabled for every file I run?
    2.) How do I enable the "Door" sensor. I saw that I need to uncomment several lines in the source code. Where do I get the source code? If I modify this code and there is an update, will I need to modify this again?
    Thanks in advance for the assistance.
