      Very new to this in as much as I've not yet got my RatRig CNC machine (due mid March) nor the controller, but I do intend to buy the Duet3D 6HC and have one (of many!) questions, if I may?

      Can the 6HC directly control the on/off function of a dust/chip collector, please, or would I need an add-on board, for example?

      With my old machine I had a relay that activated the chip collector when the router started, but I'm not sure if this function would work with my new machine, which will have a AMB milling motor with a digital interface and controlled by the Duet.

      Thank you

      I'm still on my learning curve, so take everything I say with caution!

        @nightowl999 You would have to use a relay to control the dust collector.
