Hi Zann,

The version shown on my website works ‘as is’ without the additional switch panel (which was added later to enable extra menu items selection).

As mentioned above by Daniel, the Arduino based design by Art may be a much easier project for controlling your J48 – I am certainly following it with great interest and hope to get it working with my CO2 laser in the not too distant future.

Looking into that as well. Thanks Guys

Tweekie,
Help!!
After reading your build I decided to install an 80W laser on my MechMate. All works fine except turning on the Laser from Mach3.

I cannot get pin 16 to go active. Configured output #1, Port 1, Pin 16

My G code looks like this:

N70G00G20G17G90G40G49G80
N80G70G91.1
N90 (End Mill {0.006 inch}MDF)

I gotta be missing something simple.

Tweekie,
Sorry for the hijack. Digging further I found a charge pump issue disabling the outputs on my PMDX board. Laser works!

I am pleased you found the problem.  ;)
