Trigger pin/port for torch on/off?

Post by charlie chop »

Hi everyone, I've somehow managed to disable my torch in mach3 (candcnc screen) so now it runs through the program as normal just without the torch firing. I can fire it manually with torch on off button but.
Does anybody know what the trigger pin or port is so I can find it and enable it again. Or just how to fix it.
I've gotta stop mashing buttons.

Cheers

Here is how I have mine triggered
Ports & pins output pins (output #1) I have set to pin 9 enable
ports & pins spindle setup clockwise (M3) output #1 un-click disable spindle relay
I also use the on-board relay contacts to activate an off board relay with bigger contacts.

Reload your config for an older backup that you KNOW it was working. That will fix the problem.
