Hello, a year ago I bought the Onefinity and JTech laser, a day ago I plugged it in and today I was playing with that. Sometimes it feels that the laser skips several M3 commands - it is not that obvious on multiple-pass-lasering but it is very obvious on single-pass ones (e.g. cutting the cardboar…

Thank you Neil for the suggestion, I am really running 1.0.9 so I tried to increase the laser power in gcode. Unfortunately, still the same result… In the aforementioned test, I showed that problem is probably not connected with the delay time. The problem is probably not connected with the numb…

I am assuming you are not running a spindle/VFD arrangement? The laser doesn’t work with the VFD enabled in the Tool Configuration.

Here is what I have in the tool config: [image] If you meant something else, please navigate me…

Any more hints??? Is there anybody from Onefinity??? I found out that the laser is automatically turned off sometimes. G0 command turns it off. Also if the laser is idle - using MDI, M3 + G1 - the laser is turned off when G1 is processed. I guess it is a safety feature and dwelling invokes it. …

I do not use a laser on the Onefinity but poking around in the controller a bit and looking at the documentation yields some answers to your questions. Looking at the Buildbotics controller documentation it would point you in the direction of using the tool type of “PWM Spindle” for a laser setup, …

Thank you Derek for the answer. I would suggest removing your references I wrote that information about G0 as additional debug info. My real case is still concerning the dwelling problem (G4). might want to open a case with support I think that the support is available just for the first ye…

Hey Derek, hey Dominik, this is right, in fact the Laser output J11 ( schematic ) on back panel of Onefinity Controller is identical to “PWM Out” pin 17 of DB-25 I/O port (breakout board adapter). Both are “PWM_OUT” that comes from “SPIN_PWM” pin of AVR microcontroller. [Onefinity_Controller_Ports]

Hey Derek, hey Dominik, [image] WaywardWoodworker: In the “PWM Spindle” configuration there is a check box for “Rapid-auto-off” which is selected by default, and I would suspect is also enabled on tool-type "Laser (J tech, etc). This is most likely why your laser is turning off during a rapid m…
