General Mach Discussion / Turn on off without stopping
« on: April 22, 2008, 04:15:12 PM »
In another post I saw people talking about commands M10 and M11. For example: M10P1.
I seem to understand it has something to do with turning on something and moving without a delay.
Would anybody be so kind to explain what those commands are and how are they supposed to be used?
I'm using mach3 to control a laser cutting machine. Right now i use M3 to turn on the laser and M5 to turn off. I also use the PWM output to control the power of the laser. It works OK. except, there is a little delay from the laser turn on to when it starts moving and also a delay from when it stops movint to when the laser goes off. For instance:
S50
M3
G01 X5 Y0 F40
M05
M30
I would really appreciate any help.
Regards
