Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 laser profile

« on: November 02, 2019, 02:06:28 PM »

Hi guys
i'm running laser engraver using pokeyscnc57 and mach4
i observed that there is kind of delay with the G-code execution when i'm using M command so i'm getting bad laser engraving.
 
may be this happened because i'm using Mach4 router profile
so my question is there Mach4 laser profile?
if not what should i do to solve above issue?

in Mach4 software description website page it is mentioned but can't understand what does it mean?
The standard Mach4 installer contains the screens and profiles to run Mills, Drills, Lathes, Routers, Tangential knife, Plasma, and 3D Printer machines. The full list of machines being controlled by Mach4 is much longer, but these machines can quickly be setup with the profiles and screens available in the standard Mach4 installer. Laser is the next machine to get a full profile for easy setup.

I have tried to active E-stop but still same problem
but i think i got the reason but i don't know how can i solved
there is no 5V coming from port#1 in C25 terminal board to supply the stepper drive board (Tb6600)
once i supply 5V to the stepper drive board (Tb6600) from ESS the motor running.
So please How can active this 5V in port#1 in C25 terminal board?
