![]() I wanted to be able to turn an output on and then to be able to turn an output off by using M-codes. The goal was to have simple control over the outputs. At that point, Mach 3 was configured to handle the two Gecko G540 outputs. Next I Enabled Output #2, assigned it to Port 1 (default) and assigned it to Pin Number 1.
