How do you enter a pause in a gcode program

This is called a dwell command. Use:

G4 P-

For instance G4 P.5 will dwell for 1/2 second.

Thanks Doug!! I’ll try this out tomorrow.

Exactly what I was looking for! Shame it can't use the RS485 value to know when the spindle is at speed. Maybe a custom G-code in future??

Awesome! Also, I freaking love using the RS485, no more trying to decide which way to tune/trade off the voltage to get max/min from the spindle. Really stoked about this feature.
