General Mach Discussion / Mach3 M3 voltage output

« on: February 10, 2012, 12:08:09 PM »

We are setting up a laser to the Mach3 CNC system, but it requires a 5V power source for the laser cutting. Our hope was to use the M3 code within the program to turn on and off power to the laser. However, the current to M3 electrical port is 120V. Is there a way through the software to change the voltage to the M3 electrical port? I know the stepper motors run off of a 5V input. Is there a way to incorporate this into our system somehow?

Thanks in advance for the help
