Alright let this be a lesson for all involved.
Don't do as I do.
I wanted to copy the values from X to the Y axis.
So I thought not really using the rest of the axis so copy all axis will work.
It also copies the soft limit check.
Palm on fore head.

M3 stops Pokeys and Auggie
Re: M3 stops Pokeys and Auggie
No errors showing up in th elog by the look. Was it the softlimits kicking you somehow?
It may be the libraries have changed, Ill update in the morning to a new compilation to
see if its connected. Odd that its m3 only...

Yep set softlimits to false on axis 8 and it works.
The TTL does need to be pulled low for the laser to be on.

Re: M3 stops Pokeys and Auggie
Ok so PWM worked.
Wire the TTL through the Laser power relay you have set up.
One side of the relay is to ground.
I am thinking change that and put in something in the spindle on/off to turn another relay on or off.
I used stock settings in Augs, I only set the output size to 150 in X.
Started at 47% laser power then put it down to 28% on the laser power after a little bit of running.
Not sure if it picks up the changes I am guessing it does because it didn't seem to be burning as much.
I had 2000 in the feed rate but it sure seems slow. Run time 50 minutes
Every once in a while the motors makes a noise and it kind of jumps but as you can see it didn't appear to loose steps.
I cant rule out the laptop it wanted to do more updates.

The extra line in the photo is because this was a scrap piece of wood that I was testing an LO-R5/RDworks with.

Re: M3 stops Pokeys and Auggie
Awesome...
First laser image other than my own. Good quality as well. So it seems your fine at 1ms control, since I can see 4 grey
levels in there, ( and thats all there is in that image.). This means your laser is running a fast PWM just fine. If 28% did
that at 2000, you can probably do 6000 easy at 90%..
The system shoots that selected 28% only when the axis is doing 2000feedrate you selected. And it is realtime, it adjusts as
you do.
Small steps though.., great job, I appreciate the confirmation, this photo shows a lot about how the
process can work. TTL can be left on, and PWM will control on/off fine.
Thx Glen,
