Hello,

maybe someone can help me with my problem.

I want to edit the M7 and M8 Scripts.

When I push the button for Mist or Flood it should turn the Output once on and turn it after 1 sec off. My mist controller only accept momentary switches.

e.g. M7 should turn on Output 8 for one second and turn it afterward off

The Intervall option in the settings doesn't work, it allways turn on and off the Output

best regards
Patrick

i came a bit further

M62 P8 Q1
M04 P0.5
M62 P8 Q0

but it don't update the state of mist or flood.
I found that the state of mist or flood is read only. is there any way to update the state?

Please enable the "Uses M-code" option under File/Settings/User Interface -> Commands/Coolant Options
This way any user script gcode for M7/M8 will be considered.

[Patt1607]

Use M-Code is already enabled.
But cause of turning the output on and off is does not update the Button, so it looks always as off

[PlanetCNC]

You also need to add a M gcode commands to activate the coolant modal state

[Patt1607]

which M Code can I use? i didn't find anything to update the modal state.

I found under Outputs an State Mist (RW) with _mist (R), but i don't find anyway to update or set the value.

Inside your script like this:

M62 P8 Q1
M04 P0.5
M62 P8 Q0
M7

M7 gcode inside M7 script will cause status change.

Thank you, you helped me to find a solution.

here is my solution for M7 if someone need it:

o<Mist>if[#<_Mist_on> EQ 0]
	M62 P8 Q1
	M7
	G04 P1
	M62 P8 Q0
	(status, M7 Air on)
o<Mist>else
	M62 P8 Q1
	G04 P1
	M62 P8 Q0
	M17
	(status, M17 Air off)
o<Mist>endif

Also added the same code to M17 for turn off.

You can use M17 P0 and M17 P1 to prevent accidental toggle that simple M7 can cause.
