Old thread warning.
For the sake of fellow machine addicts its best to keep this all in 1 thread .
Thank you mach support and the guys who actually offered useful help based on factual experience .
This has enabled me to control my (alleged) 40w laser from either the avi output or any other output .
I know that many may not agree with the cheap units but this is life these days and most or all the conponents in all units are sourced from those countries anyway.
the newer drive boards like the latest tb6600 and the dm542(even better) actually works better than the g540 , at least they drive my motors smoother with very very little idle chatter like my g540 seems to have .
Recently I had an issue with my g540 and the circuit diagram that is all over the web is from a very old model and when I asked
the makers for a diagram there was not even an acknowledgement that it was the case.
The g540 weakness is that the pcb tracks are very very fine and prolonged exposure to condensation moisture has seen them dissolve ,Im sure that the wood and aluminum dust did not help in any way .
I was able to repair the g540 but its a very dodgy repair .
Any way my "Birdcard" is doing great now with every usb port on any machines so far .
Its great to be able to work on the laptop any where and just plug it in and go .
Thank you all very much .
