Gcode to pause dust collector during tool changes (turn off / on )

1

I don’t have a tool changer and I’d love the quiet during tool changes, if possible. I tried M9 to stop but it didn’t work. It’s not a big deal but would be nice if I could do it.

Thanks!

Which controller are you on?

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but it’s not shutting off.

Here’s an example of what I’m trying

m5
M95
G53 G0 Z0.
G53 G0 X0. Y0.

(COUNTERSINK FOR PLUGS)
T1 m6
M94

any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You’re missing half the command:

Pro tip: go to MDI to test these commands

I tried that too (using the /64 since my DC is on relay 2).

I’ll try again.
