General Mach Discussion / machine pauses after spindle/laser is triggerd

« on: July 10, 2009, 02:28:47 PM »

i just built a laser cutter/engraver using smoothstepper and gecko320 and dc servos. all seems to work fine but when i try to cut something. it lights up the laser and pauses for about 1 second or so then starts to move. this would not be a problem if whatever i am cutting did not catch fire. i have no pause delays in the code. i am using pwm to control the laser power. any help would be great!
