[SOLVED] how to i can to setup a output for to activate a relay? was created by Nest

My hardware is a MESA 7i96

how to i can to setup a output for to activate a relay?

I know that with the M7 command the coolant pump is activated
Is there a command to activate a relay or do I have to invent a command?

Thanks you

Moved to "driver boards".

Yes there are commands to activate relays for everything, just have to be set in hal.
The wiring explanation i am leaving to someone who does a better job at explaining.

Thank you for moving the thread to where it belongs, sorry for the inconvenience.

I want to add a laser module to my cnc but I have to use two outputs, one for the power of the laser that I already have solved with (M03 $1) and another output to activate the laser and that it is not always switch on, and that output is the one that is missing

Thanks you

How about one custom M-code?
For example M100 -> laser on M101 laser off.
Example:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m100-m199
On

#! /bin/bash
#------ M100 Laser on ---------
halcmd setp *your-output* true
exit 0

Off

#! /bin/bash
#------ M101 Laser off ---------
halcmd setp *your-output* false
exit 0

Since you are already using M3 $1 to activate the laser you can maybe simply use M3 $2 to turn it on using an output associated with spindle #2 ?

Hello, it is done, I have used the commands M101 to activate and M102 to deactivate. I have followed the instructions and it is very simple.
first we create two files with notepad one called M101 and the other called M102 without extension,
inside I put: M101:

#! /bin/bash
#------ M101 Laser on ---------
halcmd setp hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-02 true
exit 0

In M102:

#! /bin/bash
#------ M102 Laser off ---------
halcmd setp hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-02 false
exit 0

The path where to guide the files is:
/home/nameuser/linuxcnc/nc_files/

this path is in the .ini file in section [Display] in the line PROGRAM_PREFIX
and that's it

Thanks you so much
