I’ve sent this issue to both Onefinity and JTech, but with the weekend here I’m hoping a forum member can get back to me before they do on Monday…
I’ve just installed the 7w+ Laser kit on my new OF Woodworker Pro. The laser fires full blast if I set the JTech switch to manual, but won’t fire when under software control - neither Vectric files nor from MIDI commands.
I have 1.6.6 on the BB controller. I have Laser selected under tool type. Using a digital multimeter, I have verified that I get voltage on the laser out of the BB, as well as voltage thru the cable to the JTech module and voltage on the JTech module terminal block. Jumpers on the JTech are set appropriately - J2 voltage 12 volts, J12 non invert (changing to invert doesn’t help), J13 PWM.
If I use MIDI commands to try the laser - M3 Sxxx the laser will not fire no matter what the Sxxx value is even though I can see voltage at the H2 terminal block and on the cable end that plugs into H4. But, as I said, the laser is working and fires if switched to manual mode.
If I execute a gcode test file of a fill on some text, my multimeter on the JTech bounces like crazy - signal voltage is changing so quickly the multimeter cannot keep up.
Any ideas? I’m stumped….
