Why aren't my accessory commands working?

[DirkMartin]

I’ve gone into my machine settings, and I see the checkbox for sending accessory commands, was not checked. I had it check off, months ago, and my dust collector was kicking in and out, just as it should. But now, I see it is unchecked. I think that may have happened when I did a BIOS upgrade to the machine.

Any way, it’s now checked. I started a carve, and the dust collector kicked in, as it should. However, at the end of the carve, the collector never turned off. I think it’s command “M9” that turns it off, right? Why would my machine not be sending a M9 command, even tho it seems to send a M7 and M8 properly (M7 M8 = turn on dust collector) ?

Also, when I go into the Machine Inspector, shouldn’t I be able to type in M9 right there, and it would kill the dust collector? When I manually enter M9 and press enter, my dust collector stays running.

Pardon my ignorance, but when it is working, how does it work?? I’ve long wondered if there was a way to automatically turn on and off my dust collection without having to use a remote (which I’m lucky enough to have). While speaking with a rep from Inventables two years ago, I suggested that it should be possible to do so. I was told that he would pass the suggestion along, so I assumed that it was not possible (there is that ‘assume’ biting me again )..
