Router + Laser

Post by mrp192 »

Hi everyone,
I am attaching a laser to my router. When I go a M37 the spindle will start spinning and I will get nothing from the laser. As far as I can tell I set everything up correctly. Any advise would be great.

It looks like you have the outputs in the wizard set up right. Double check your output/relay connections for your type of laser. M37 should turn off the spindle, set 0 rpm, and turn on Output 4 (laser Enable) as well as flick Output 7 on/off (laser Reset).

Edited; Also, do you have PWM enabled in the Wizard?
