The ExtIn signals and relays are controlled via scripting and may be used as desired …
Transformation and points values can be addressed thru scripting.
You can use G92.1 to cancel your working offsets and set them to zero
I have been contracted to develop numerous scripts for a multitude of purposes and therefore I cannot make them available. If we where to take it a step further and set up a blog I will gladly...
Klaus ... thanks for taking the lead on this .... very cool. Should we start our own blog? We could get it hosted on our own, have a group of members manage the content and even invite PlanetCNC to...
Personally I don’t mind paying a little extra to support the efforts of PlanetCNC.
From your ambiguous explanation I don't quite understand what you are experiencing.
If you are using TNG you can create custom procedures & toolbar buttons to have the software behave to your...

Also, you can use M62 "Output M-Code" via the MDI to turn your relays on/off and monitor their state using the software's IO tab.
Example: for relay on output pin# 2

The output board requires "external" 12V power supply connected to the terminal labeled "power" and make sure to be careful with the polarity.

@ iBigNTastyi
Hope the enclosed diagram helps.
It would seem clear from your video that the spindle turns off when the outputs change state.
Now as "mactec54" suggested it would be helpful to see how you wired the VFD to the MK3/4 board ......
"software stops while running code" is nothing I have encountered before so the following is merely a suggestion:

@ Eatonbrayer Sure ... I have reached out to PlanetCNC for guidance as to how best to approach the subject.
@ Anriro "For example, starting the program from the desired line."
Please download the latest TNG manual dated 2018/08/01 and read page 119 section "2.7.5.1. Start From Selected Line."
Also,...
If you have any specific questions regarding scripting I would be glad to lend a hand.
Please note that for TNG the scripting is basically G-Codes, M-Codes, O-Words, Operators, Functions and...
I am in the process of writing a TNG script that needs to evaluate the state of two output relays. As an example, relay 1 and 7 need to be confirmed as on/off at the hardware level in order for the...
