    • DuetWifi Laser Engraver Setup

      Having some problem with setting my Duetwifi Laser engraver... can anyone give me some pointers?

      • laser is connected to a mosfet then put on Fan 0
      • laser can fire on S106 S0 (The on/off is inverse)
      • I can home X and Y... but there is No Z... how can I set it up without Z?
      • What is a good software to make gcode? I am trying to use lightburn, but seems it doesn't work yet?? (maybe because there is no Z)

    • RE: DuetWifi Laser Engraver Setup

      Dear Dc42,

      Thanks! I have added M452 and now G1 S255 xxxxxx will turn on while cutting..
      It is still connect to Fan0 Port

      M106 P0 S255 I1 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off

      M452 P20 R255 F200 ; switch to laser mode using the Fan0 (20pin logical port) output pins to control the laser

      I have a few questions:

      1. How to do I know the appropriate pwm frequencies? (F200?)
      2. I noticed that on lower G1 S# xxxx that the laser is not turn on? (or so weak I cannot see any etches at all?) is there a min # to set? is it set on M106 Lxx??
      3. any pointers to have a good etch? as I see some areas have very light and some are charred

      Reinstalled Inkscape again and used @keyz182 's extension and it worked!

      @bearer
      So maybe I should change F200 to any other number? Spec said 0-15000
      So set it to 15000 and try again?
      Or R255 to R15000?

      @EasyTarget
      Noted I too think maybe it ttl not accept pwm
      I am getting ttl to pwm convertor (elekmaker ttl to pwm) to see if this will fix the problem

      Anyone hooked this up before?

      yes it works! thanks!
      but I need to have it set M42 P6 S255 in order to work.... any other value the laser is off...
      how come?

    • RE: Laser Questions: How to focus len with it firing low power?

      hrmmm.... since I am heater 6... so this means:
      M42 P6 S10
      would fire the laser on low power (hopefully..)
      I did read somewhere on the forum that you can not fire without moving...
      they said made a macro for it.. but Don't know how....
      Would you or anyone kindly share how?

      thanks

    • Laser Questions: How to focus len with it firing low power?

      Finally I got my laser fired up (2 pin PWM+ 2 pin 12v power) using heater 6 on the expansion board (via 2.05 firmware)
      Doing a test print on inkscape via 306 engineering raster to gcode plugin... just printing "ABCDEF"
      I noticed that:

      1. firing is very spotty across the row- it doesn't look like letters - could this be focus?
        a) If so, what is the gcode to have the laser turn on at 1% (or low power) so I can make focus adjustment?? tried M3 S10 and it didn't fire, but while doing G1 X100 S100 it does move and fire...
        tried it with sticky M457's S1 sticky ... still no good
      2. if it is not focus issue - can anyone please advise me?
      3. I have tried lightburn - cannot find save gcode using smoothieware or marlin as profile?
