If I put a multimeter on the input 1 terminal 3 I can see 4.9v and if I run the gcode I can see it go on and off

I have tried it and can see the laser light flashes slightly like it did when I tried the M3 S800 kind of like too lower laser power?

The light on the controller not the laser itself

Morning

I've done the test and it was set to option 0, I've now changed that set everything else as stated.

did you do the test with MDI?

I put in the code M3 S1000, it wouldn't work lower than that, at S800 the light flickered on the laser active indicator on the PLH3D-CNC control and it does stop with M3 S0

Hi Allan,

This is really not going to work for you with two people making conflicting suggestions.

As I said earlier I leave it all to TPS.

Tweakie.

I have only made changes you have suggested, I wouldn't change them between conflicting advice, yes I have turned the laser on and bridged the terminals but that's just a test.

Like I've said I appreciate all the help I can get, it's not fair to post a problem on a forum and not let all give advice/ opinions.

Just looking for friendly advice

thanks

Allan
