Hello All,
I bought a kit of 2.x laser parts from Bart in February, and I'm finally ready to test the tube. I got sidetracked a bit by an Ultimaker 3D printer.
I'm using Bart's laser interface/driver PCB, Mach3, and a 40W HV supply from LightObject.
I think I have everything wired correctly, but the tube doesn't fire when i send an E1P1 or M10P1 command with a move command after.
Anyone have a checklist for the interlocks and requirements? i'd like to test with the HV supply unplugged if possible.
I'm thinking:
test TL output from the interface board while running g-code
test e-stop switch at the DB9 connector
test cover switch at the DB9 connector
test flow meter (not sure how) at connector with pump on and off.
SPST switch on panel, what position? try both
momentary button? try
Thanks,
Kyle
