I am having a issue with setting up the dust collector to turn on automatically as it starts the job.
Dust collector is wired to output 7, set in wizard Router dust collection output 7
From the VCP I can toggle it on and off fine, when the Auto/man Auto is on it does not start the vacuum when job starts.
Is there something simple I am missing?
Thanks

Re: Router dust collector vcp button
Make sure you have 'Router Dust Collection' selected from the Wizard for output 7, and not just 'Dust Collection'.

Rog, Marty,
Yes its Router dust collection, it works if I toggle it to manual and press button, just wont start auto so I am toggling it to manual a few seconds after it starts cutting.

From: https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... ctions.pdf
Try:
DustCollectionOn An output typically used for Dust Collector control.
M35 activates output to start Dust Collector.
M36 turns Dust Collector Off.

Re: Router dust collector vcp button
Did you modify your Post Processor with the M8/M9 commands to turn on the Router Dust Collection at start and off at the end of the G-Code file?

Re: Router dust collector vcp button
Marty, have not tried the DustCollectionOn that is listed under Mill, didnt think it would work for the Router buttons
Rog, no modifications, I assumed it had commands built in?

Re: Router dust collector vcp button
Mark,
You need to add the M commands in. I use V-Carve Pro and have 6 post processors set up for the Acorn, 3 with Dust Collection, 3 w/o.
Here's my PP for you to look at, search the M8/M9
