Thank you for all of the help I don't know what it was that made it work but when I ran a gcode that was made in lightburn it worked as it should.

RE: Using m42 command to control laser
@jay_s_uk That's what I thought but when I Used the method explained in https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Laser_PWM_control it never seems to work. it would tell me that Error: M3: Command is not supported in machine mode Laser. I even tried M571 P"exp.heater3" F200 S255 but got Error: M571: Pin 'exp.heater3' is not free. At this point, I'm not sure where to go.
Here is my config.g file in case I'm missing something.

Using m42 command to control laser
I'm able to control my laser with M42 p0 S0..1 but I would like to be able to use 0..255 as my range. since most programs use 255 as the max.
This is what is in my config g.
