Laser to run with VFD Tool Configuration in place

The JTech laser will not function if the VFD is being used in Tool Configuration and via MODBUS control.

Many of us use a spindle and yes, I know spindles are not supported by Onefinity. No complaint but just pointing it out so OF doesn’t have to add the standard disclaimer here!

That said, the inability to run the laser unless you reconfigure the machine back to the Makita Router is a real pain. I use the laser to augment VCarves and to have to continually reconfigure the machine back and forth between the Omron VFD and the Makita Router is a pain.

Please come up with a work around for us.

Did anyone ever reply or point you in a direction? I have a upgraded journeyman wirh the BB controller. I too would like to eventually runba spindle and laser. For now am using a makita router and would also like to use the laser wirh it as well without reconfiguring the machine from makita to jtech laset. Anyone have any thoughts here?

This is an extremely old post but I have no issues using a spindle and laser, other than what i think was an intermittent bug with 1.4 that doesn’t seem to be happening anymore, and didn’t happen on older builds.

I just change my tool from my spindle’s vfd to the laser setting and back. No issues at all.
