M101 camand was created by Timbob
I'm a bit new to emc and I'm trying to figure out how to turn some extra relays on and off. I wrote a nc file as it says in the manual made it an executable file as it says m101 m102. and it still says undefined M code used . Am I missing something here? So far I have been successful at making the machine do what I want but this has me puzzled. Any help would be great.

Hello,
You might want to send a copy of the program along for us to view. Also more information such as what you want to do, what version of EMC, etc.

Tim,
From the manual:
The error "Unknown M code used" denotes one of the following
* The specified User Defined Command does not exist
* The file is not an executable file
www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//gcode_main.html#sec:M100-to-M199:
What did you name the file? M101 or M101.ngc? It only needs to be named M101. I don't have EMC set up yet on this computer so I can't test is out. As Rick said if you attach the file perhaps someone can verify that the problem is not in your file. Usually it is named wrong or not in the correct directory.

I am not near my machine however I think you want to put the files in the directory named in your .INI file. PROGRAM_PREFIX =

Tim,
If you used stepconf to set up your machine there should be a file holder with the name of your machine on your desktop. You will find the .INI file there.

Tim,
The files you created need to be placed in the directory that the PROGRAM_PREFIX = points to. This is in the [DISPLAY] section of your .INI file.
There is more information in the Integrator Manual 7.2.2 [DISPLAY] Section. If your programs are short you might want to paste one of them to your next post. There is info on this in the How to use the Forum Section. When you get the files that you created in the right place they will have to be marked executable.

This is it. I copied and pasted this in the ini. file right after the program_prefix= and still no change (unknown m ode used)
M101
#!/bin/bash
#file to turn on paraport pin 14 to open collet closer
halcmd setp paraport.0.-14-out true
exit 0
