WOODPECKER 3.2 GRBL PROBE DRIVER
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
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. Once you figure out the laser head, we can move on to the controller…Īny links to the hardware would be advantageous. I’ve seen simple to complex controllers that come with these lasers…

Their purpose is usually manual control, which you seem to be lacking. Most of these laser heads have a separate board that has the buttons and leds on it, I’m assuming that case here. Identify what the buttons and leds are supposed to do and how they are supposed to work. Follow the wires, your machine seems pretty open.įirst ensure you have power to the device. Most of the time you can get away with it, but I guarantee you of being bitten. If you value your hardware don’t ‘guess’ at these connections. Do you have the power to run it? If it came this way, it’s probably ok, but it would be a drag to find out you don’t have enough power (wattage) to run it… If I read your post correctly you have a 3.8 watt laser, input power, so it’s drawing about 320 ma. If you can follow them and confirm them, then we can start looking at the controller followed by lightburn… dubious it’s lightburn. If you want to try while you’re waiting for a reply from j-tech…Īs I said there is only 3 connections. We can probably figure this out, it’s not rocket science.

Ensure we have the proper hardware configuration before any worry about the software side. It’s a two pronged fork, half hardware the other software. I can see the PWM output of your board, so you should only need to ensure you have power. J-tech should be able to tell you what wires go where. Lot’s of people have these issues, we’ll get you up if you can be patient enough for us

A red led could be an error or normal operation. If I remember that’s it saying it has power?įirst shot should be what indicators do you have, and for us, we need to know what they are. If you have varying descriptions, you may have to chase the wiring down to the part to ensure what’s what. Just check out what supposed to be and double check that it is. It does sound like it should be an easy fix. I’ve broken more stuff getting frustrated and doing something I knew better…

We are here to help and usually what I tell people first off is ‘sit down with a cup of coffee and relax’ Normally I don’t post like that, but… There was no intent to ‘excite’ you, just a pun on the mess.
