@Sp00kie13 said in Cnc pendant:

Do I need to cut and solder the wires from the Pendant (I have the pendant from Banggood listed on this page) to the nano pro and then solder an Extra cable to connect to the PanelDue port?

That's what I did, because I wasted to use a thinner cable than the one supplied with the pendant. You could re-use the same cable, but you would only use the +5V, GND, and one other wire in it (or two other wires if you need the PanelDue pass-through).

FIRMWARE_VERSION: 2.03

Well, that largely explains it. I think you have a WorkBee machine, and if you are using their firmware, they use the older version 2 RepRapFirmware. The commands you’re sending are for RRF v3, and what I was testing. What you need is the command in RRF 2. You need to know the fan PIN number, disable its default fan assignment, then assign it to the laser. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_servos_and_controlling_unused_IO_pins which shows the PIN numbers. So try:

M106 P20 I-1 ; disable fan0 assignment M452 P20 I1 F100 ; laser uses fan0 pin, PWM frequency 100Hz

Let me know if that works.

Edit: you still can’t control the pin with M106. The laser should fire with G1 moves, but I’m not sure with firmware v2.03. See the laser guide I posted earlier. If you can give feedback, I’ll update the guide.

@chrishamm thank you for the help. It looks like I have some studying to do while we can’t work

What errors were you getting with the web interface?

In terms of the setup, I would use the 750 x 1000 and then modify the config to suit. Shouldn't be too much to change
