Problems with Vetric Laser Driver

[SKH (Stephen Harmon)]

I am having problems with the Vetric Laser driver. For some reason, the laser is not turning off between letters on a engrave so I get cutter path lines between the letters. Any suggestions on a solution?

Also, tried a photoengrave with several iterations on power and speed and all I get is a solid burn of different shades but no detail?

Post a pic your pwm spindle settings

I am not sure the VCarve driver gives me the option to get to a PWM spindle setting … could it be called something else in VCarve?

on the controller itself. Not in Vectric.

Jtech Laser Controller Settings

For those of you who purchased (or provided their own) the jtech laser add on, as of Firmware update 1.0.9 and later, users no longer have to manually input laser settings. Select “tool” on the flyout menu. From the dropdown menu, select the “laser” option and leave “tool-enable-mode” on disabled It is VERY important that you connect the control (black connector) wire to the control input on the J Tech Photonics, Inc. laser board with the black dot. If you plug it in incorrectly, you will fry …

here are the settings that i just added … did not affect the laser …when i run the engrave routine it still burns the cutter path.

Are you using our vectric laser laser post processor?

[SKH (Stephen Harmon)]

Yes, VCarve 10.57 with the Vetric Laser Module and the OneFinity Laser Post Processor?

Try restarting the controller

I restarted the controller to no avail … the laser is still burning the tool path between the engraved letters

Are you using our vectric laser laser post processor?

I can’t find a Onefinity Laser PP on Vectric’s site. Is there one posted here that I haven’t found? Sorry, been looking everywhere.

It’s on the JTech Laser site

Any progress on running the files I sent?

[OnefinityCNC (Onefinity Support)]

I ran the file and it came out perfect.

Under pwm settings on the controller, deselect rapid auto off and dynamic power. Hit save at the top left. Select none in the drop down list. Then reselect pwm spindle and recheck rapid auto off and dynamic power and hit save. Run the file. Let me know how it goes.

Are these still the working laser PP for vectric?
