Re: How do I troubleshoot bad threads? <Resolved>

fusion,

Absolutely bee-U-ti-Ful! I am not joking. Those threads are gorgeous. Anyway, enough oohs and drool over here. Good thread work!

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

It seems the laser is not actually liking your arrangement. I see crosshair marks when the laser gantry is traversing instead of the laser pausing until next fire.

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

Boostedss,

Here:

There should be some alignment photos in the slew of pictures.

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

neat...good luck.

I know the mirror alignment is an issue with a lot of people. I will review my older paperwork on their manual. I will see if I have an electronic copy somewhere. I will report the findings soon, i.e. as the mirror are fickle with adjustments.

Just a heads up here:

1. Center ...

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

Boostedss...if you want me to make a complete schematic, okay. I will but it will be far off from now. Maybe in mid April or late April is when I can probably find time to configure things correctly for the entire build.

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

Okay. THIS IS NOT 100% CORRECT as I do not know what is going on without a google photos album and set up of current wiring diagrams from you.

I figured this could get you going. I have not accounted for the inputs (end stops), fans, tanks, tubing pump(s), and/or air assistive technology.

The ...

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

# Update on Building the Simple Schematic

Not so simple. My software keeps halting at removing and adding in specified parts (basically just lines with signification of what goes where).

I will keep trying. I am going to the mfg. of the source that I use for altering the DWG files from Centroid ...

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

Boostedss,

Hello again. What have you done so far?

Are you using the original PSU for your laser or are you using a new PSU?

Try mechanical switches and an E-Stop for the H-Series.

I will try to make up a set up for your PSU soon after you reply letting me know what has been done and what type ...

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

First off, I would have powered the controller to do the bench test.

Secondly, I would have powered your PSU for the laser to make sure you are getting the same, exact voltages that are listed on the PSU.

1. DB25, PWM-GND to PSU for laser and/or 2. DB25, PWM to PSU for laser while the entire GND ...

Re: Wiring laser on acorn

Hello...

I cut my wiring for IN2 and that is easily seen on your last photo you produced here. I used an E-Stop and then used PWM and GND from the DB25.
