    So I went to a dual extruder, got the fan extender to control the parts cooling fans using pin 6. The fans successfully responds to the sample test code:

    void setup()
    {
    pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
    }
    void loop()
    {
    digitalWrite(6, LOW);
    delay(5000);
    digitalWrite(6, HIGH);
    delay(5000);
    }

    But, it doesn't not respond to the M106 command in part files g-code. Intel on the web seemed to indicate the redirection would be automatic in Marlin when #define MOTHERBOARD = 34. Apparently it does not.
    Anyone have correct intel on this?

    You redefined the pin # under motherboard 34 to be 6 from 4?
