Creating a custom M command

neel8440924

It was mentioned earlier that custom m instruction (M200.nc-M9999.nc) is possible.
For example i put G01 G53 X20 Y20 F2000 in M2000.nc and copy it in system folder, then i run test.nc which contains M2000 from udisk, but it does not work. I cannot figure out how to make it work?
On a side note in 111 version, i interchange G53/G153 tunctionality,
G01 G53 X20 Y20 F2000 work at F=2000 without problem, but
G00 G53 X20 Y20 still work at #76 default operation speed and not at #80 G0 speed

Thank you now it works.
Is there keyboard shortcut for switching M3, M8 and M10 outputs?

neel8440924

Any keys that you think is comfortable can work, i plan to use arduino to add switches to panel.
Can you add 2: M8/M10 response to pararmeter #3 Function of toolpath key. It can work as follows pressing toolpath key toggle M8 output and Shift/2nd key then toolpath key toggle M10 output.
Thank you.

Is it possible to manually toggle M8/M9, M10/M11 output while g code is running "AUTO", if M code is encountered in gcode running, it can change output accordingly?

M3 spindle output manually toggle is dangerous during "AUTO", but M8/M9 coolant and M10/M11 mist manual toggle is common on many industrial cnc machines.

Is it possible to manually toggle M8/M9 during "AUTO", via toolpath key, now i can do everything i need without keyboard if this works?
