Does anyone have any information on whether we can attach an OIT relay for turning on dust collection etc during a carve as we did with the X-Carve?
I would like to know this as well…
In the machine tab / advanced, you can click the “Accessory Commands”. It’ll send a M7 & a M8 at the start of the run, then at the end, run a M9.
If you know how to use that (I personally don’t…but i’m researching now), you can get it to work.
John Hays at Inventables (Senior Technical Support Specialist) is who I’ve been dealing with on the xcarve pro. He is getting with the engineering group as to the proper wiring setup to use the mist or flood connections. I will post what he sends me.

Ordered a set of 1/4 solderless screw plugs.
In the machine tab / advanced, click the “Accessory Commands” box.
Install plug in either FLOOD or MIST.
Connected wires from this to the IOT relay.
Powers on the vacuum system just like the regular xcarve.
Happy Carving!!!

Is there a difference between FLOOD or MIST? I assume not, but what are they actually for? Is it possible to use them for different things, controlled separately?
thanks

Sean,
Thanks, it worked perfectly!
D
Is this the IoT relay y’all are using? Or do you have a different one you’d recommend?
Thanks!
Yes, that is the one I am using and it works great!
This is the part that throws me…
What size wire do I use?
Where on the IOT relay do I connect the wires?
The other end of the wires (at the computer) are self evident.
Thanks gang!
Here is the link to the IOT relay I used.
It’s the same as the one listed in one of the posts above.
The wire gets connected to the green plug on both parts.
I had a bunch of old phone wire and used it, but any wire will work.
I got everything ordered, so I should be all set !!
Thanks folks!
That IoT relay is the one I use also, on my NextWaves and now my XCarve Pro. You can also use the phono plugs in the Amazon link below for the XCarve Pro that require no extra cables or soldering. It is then a simple matter of plugging the phono plug into the XCarve Pro Controller, screw down the two bare wires into the terminal block on the IoT relay, and plug in mains power and your dust extractor.
