    How to use Richauto A11 to control external equipments.

    Hi,
    I'm using a wood lathe machine with 3 axis.
    My controller is RichAuto A11.
    I want to turn on and turn off a fan by G-Code.
    Can you help me?
    How to do it?

    Many thanks.
    Alex

    Have not tried this and the manual does not specifically state but the following M codes with Output Y8 _might_ work:

    M350 Output Logic Zero
    M351 Output Logic One

    These are claimed to be the "extension output" but they do not state it is Y8 however, this is the only output not flagged for use by anything else in their manual.

    Under the cover there are some LED's to indicate the state of the outputs so it should be easy to check.

    The A11 and its motion card are minimal and do not have a lot of flexibility/expandability.

    Let us know if this works or not. If it works, this output could be connected to a SSR to control some external device.
