Laser on Duet3d mini5+
December 08, 2022 07:26AM
Hi, I am trying to add a laser head to my cnc machine and cannot work out how to control it... The cnc is a home-built MPCNC with a 'Big Dipper' Duet3 mini5+ control board and RRF 3.4.4, the laser head is a Laser Tree 6W. PWM control is from io6 and I can turn the laser on or off fully by inverting the pin in firmware but I can't control it with G1 Sxx as I anticipated. Can anyone help please. Perhaps I am using the wrong Gcode? Here is my config.g file..:
; Configuration file for Duet 3 Mini 5+ (firmware version 3.3)
