The router and shop vac are plugged into an electrical box containing a solid state relay. The relay is triggered from the spindle on/off pin on the motion controller board. Any G-code spindle on/off command (M03/M05) will turn the router and shop vac on/off. All Estlcam projects will have/send those commands at the start/end of the program and for each tool change pause/resume. The emergency stop button, Esc key, and pause icon will also turn off the router and shop vac. The rotation icon (pictured) near the bottom left of the control window can be used to test functionality.
