I’m using GroundControl today and hope to start using WebControl in a few weeks (when my RPi shows up). I’ve also got Spindle control (M4/M5) working. When calibrating, GroundControl automatically starts and stops the router, the router turns on and off as expected.
However, when I’m cutting designs made on Easel, it doesn’t include the Spindle control codes in the GCode. I’ve seen other posts suggesting to edit the GCode to add M4/M5 before loading into GC.
Is there any way to have Easel automatically add those Spindle control codes?

I think I found the answer and replied in this other thread on the subject.
