    Building a co2 using X32 board. I am trying to gather information on the air assist. I have a compressor I will run through a solenoid that switches the air flow off and on.
    As I understand it, in Lightburn the air option in the layers panel when it is on it will send a M8 to my board and activate whatever I have attached..?
    I am reading that the coolant outlet on the board can be used as an on off switch. and I also see that the relay 1 can be used as on and off too? Can the M8 command be set to any of those or is it only for the coolant? Is there another way to switch the air solenoid on and off in Lightburn. Im trying to find the best way.

    Thanks for any info suggested
