    You can wire a 24v light to the Coolant output and setup your CAM to add M8 at the start, M9 at the end.

    See docs:blackbox:connect-coolant [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    thanks for the info works good, so onto next question, using blackbox and lightburn with an endurance 10 watt laser, my home has always been lower left, today when i turned it on and wrote BOB it did not go from left to right it wrote it up and down , when i tried to change the axis it sent back words but again up and down not right to left. I'm i missing something in blackbox to change x to y and y to x ?

    Are you sure you wired it all up right? Sounds like you wired X to Y and vice versa
