Thank's Tweakie,
you mean by combining M11/M10 and pwm like you did with optocoupler?
I haven't tried just with pwm, but according to the threads I have been reading, there is too much delay  with S********* commands to switch the laser on and off....

Thank's Tweakie!
I already had a look at it but noticed it was more about grbl setups. Can it be fitted to Mach3 setup?  I have laser fitted to my router and I mainly need it for vector engraving so I would rather add something to my setup than change it. I'm using Aspire for generating the gcode.

Hi,
I have been reading the most of this long topic and things have been living during this 6 years, so what's the way to go at the moment?
I need to do vector engraving mostly but would like to experiment with grayscale as well.
Is engrave plugin modified by Tweakie still the way to go or there is something better. How should I get the modulation from Mach3?
 
I have 2w laser diode with russian analog/pwm driver (similar to Flexmod P3) and Mach3 control board with pwm output and analog 0-10V output.

Should I combine pwm S-commands and M11/M10 with opto-coupler like Tweakie did or is there out  something more advanced at the moment?
I saw Art was building nice pulse-distance control for mach4,  something similar built I have seen also for grbl and for linux cnc, but I don't have the knowledge to bring it to Mach3...
How are you engraving with your lasers at the moment (without encoders, dac, etc.)?
