How do you access the relay outputs? was created by scutty
What is the best way to access the relay outputs on the DB-15 connector on a D3 machine? Is there a breakout board or do you need to hack into the connector or roll your own?

Apparently this is not something that is supported according to SC tech support. Fortunately UCCNC is supper customizable. Relay one is going to the spindle control so I left that alone. Relay 2 and 3 seem to be available. My setup is using the UC100 and stock SC controller board.
Step 1: Go to configuration/io trigger/ output trigger and enable port 1, Pin 14 for relay 2 and port 1, pin 16 for relay 3. use the "set" button to select the mist and flood functions. save the settings
If you use the M7 macro (mist) or M8 macro (flood) the out puts should now turn on.
On the db15 connector, Relay 2 comes out on pin 6 and Relay4 comes out on 14
Step 2: go to the main UCCNC window hit Q to enter the screen editor mode and add a button. Use the uccnc "buttons by number" documentation for the mist and flood functions. Create a button or repurpose an existing button. Assign the button to 116 or 117. Assign a button image or add and asign a custom image. Save the screen set.
