If you value your hardware don’t ‘guess’ at these connections. Most of the time you can get away with it, but I guarantee you of being bitten. Follow the wires, your machine seems pretty open.įirst ensure you have power to the device. Identify what the buttons and leds are supposed to do and how they are supposed to work. Most of these laser heads have a separate board that has the buttons and leds on it, I’m assuming that case here. Their purpose is usually manual control, which you seem to be lacking. I’ve seen simple to complex controllers that come with these lasers… WOODPECKER 3.2 GRBL PROBE MANUAL Once you figure out the laser head, we can move on to the controller…Īny links to the hardware would be advantageous.

Just thought I would give a wee update … Jay from J-Tech sent out another plug last week … plugged it in & hey presto it lit up & fans came on … BUT… It will still not fire could not get above 3.5v after typing G1 F100 M3 S1000 … changed wires over to output marked spndle (0-10V) & power went up & seemed like it was going to get to 5v … can only get it up to 4.7v on 20% power …Lightburn stops at 20% … at 5% power Im getting 3.5v … at 20% Im getting 4.7V just cant get the 5v that Jay from J-Tech says I need !!! X-carve doesnt want to know & said they dont want anything to do with a laser / lightburn or J-Tech …Lightburn say its J-Tech, J-tech says its the X-controller & now X-Carve say they would recommend. Im just waiting on a reply from Jay again gotta say he has been good at giving ideas but Im afraid it is about the end of the line now ! only thing he has suggested was to fit an opamp, buffer or a line driver … really didnt expect all this hastle…Im slowly loosing the will … Oh I ment to say after typing the code in for full power & moving the cables to the (0-10v) outlet it does fire, just not in normal mode with the fire button, I am hoping there is something in the settings I could change Any ideas Jack ? that no one fits a laser to their machines …dispite inventables having a whole section in the forums dedicated to …LASERS WOODPECKER 3.2 GRBL PROBE UPDATE
