I am having problems with v3 software output #4. The router is connected to switch 4. I use shopbot.opt to disable output #4 (This way I will to cut into my zero plate). Then in my part files I turn on the switches.
(beginning of part file)
so,3,1 'turn blower on
'press any key to start
PAUSE
so,2,1 'turn dust collector on
PAUSE 3
so,4,1 'turn router on
so,4,-2 'turn router on
PAUSE 1

(End of part file)
so,4,0
so,4,-4 'turn router off
PAUSE 1
so,3,0 'turn blower off
PAUSE 1
so,2,0 'turn dust off
PAUSE 1

My problem is when I stop the tool switch #4 does not always shut off and when the file finishes the switch does not always reset to -4. There is no apparent reason for this. The only way I have been able to change the function of switch #4 is with in a part file. By typing so,4,-2 the software does not make the change.

Ryan,

I remember a discussion about the stop switch changing from NO to NC. In the earlier software, #4 was used as the emergency stop - there could be some changes

Best check with Support for the solution.
