      Is there a way to turn off only a laser when an external trigger is detected? I was following this guide https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Tuning/Triggers and was able to get an emergency stop but really what I want is for the power to be shut off to my laser and keep the movement going. Is there a way to force my out6 pin (which is the PWM control of my laser) to stay off? I am at a loss. My RepRapFirmware version is 3.4.5 and I am using a Duet 3 Mini 5+ WiFi board. I am also using LightBurn as software that sends my machine gcode and it works just fine. Below is my config.g file.

      One more thing, I noticed that M581 only detects edge triggers and was wondering if there is a way to detect level triggers instead. I really appreciate any and all help.

        @TrafficViolation personally I'd do this in hardware, on my K40 I have a switch on the lid that breaks the circuit to the "water safeguard" input, I've also got this wired in series to a manual switch on the control panel so I can force the laser to be off all the time.

          @CNCModeller Thank you so much for your reply and letting me know what you did. We actually decided to hook up the magnetic switch to the PWM output so the laser will have a duty cycle of 0 when the lid is open. I do think in the future we will also have a manual hardware switch.
