What is a yellow LED on the coolant button?

I’ve been doing some manual cutting on my 15L, with and without coolant. When I want it, I turn it on by clicking the button. I went to make another cut, and it didn’t turn on. But the little indicator on the button now turns yellow instead of green when I try to turn it on. M7 does nothing, M8 turns it yellow (but the pump does not turn on), M9 turns it off.

I also no longer hear the relay click.

What does yellow mean?

It does the same thing for me. Sometimes I can hit the stop button in PathPilot (when I’m running a program) and it will work, other times, not. It started doing it on either the last version release or the one before that. It’s pretty annoying.

I came back to the machine today and powered it back on, and now the button is turning green and the coolant pump is turning on. Go figure.

All,
This is a known issue with PathPilot that will be cleared up with the next release of PathPilot, which is in the works and will be out soon-ish.
This problem showed up in PP 2.10.0 and was made a little better in 2.10.1. In 2.10.0 -if I remember correctly- you have to reload the program to get the coolant button to work again while in 2.10.1 you only have to stop the program. In the next version of PathPilot the coolant button will work as originally intended.
