Re: PWM not working with Laser

I'm not Centroid tech support, but here's another test you can do to see if the Acorn or the laser is the problem. With the PWM wire to the laser disconnected from the Acorn board, measure the voltage on the PWM pin 25 with a voltmeter or scope when running your program. If you are not getting any ...

Re: PWM not working with Laser

Thanks for the response but I already tried that. I am just not getting any analog signal from controller to PWM. I even tried running a program that I used in the past but to no avail. It worked great before?? Head scratcher.

Re: PWM not working with Laser

Just a quick add-on that I didn't mention in my original post. To test the laser was working properly, I connected a 9v battery to the PWM leads and was able to get the laser to fire at the appropriate amps.

PWM not working with Laser

Hi All, Wondering if I might receive some help with my laser. I have an Endurance Laser that I piggy backed on my CNC router about a year back. I did have it working well but then didn't use it for a few months. Now I am able to turn the laser on but am not getting any feedback from the PWM? I have ...

Re: Endurance Laser

I have tried this a number of times. It will turn the laser on but will not turn on the laser beam? I have also tried a number of times to get the controller to control the %power of the laser but the only way to control the power is if I change the Base Frequency in Wizard. It seems I am getting no...
