Very nice looking machine as well - I think you have a set-up to be proud of there.

(Perhaps rename the on-screen button RESET ?  )

Very nice work.

Just a thought...
The Emergency Stop may be a bit misleading to the inexperienced as a software polled EStop should never be relied on in an Emergency. The only true 'Emergency Stop' physically disconnects power to all parts of the machine (and if applicable automatically applies any brakes, locks, etc.).

Hi James,

Can you post your <Proflle> .xml file from your Mach3 folder. Copy and rename it to james.xml before posting - I will take a look and should be able to advise where the problem lies.

You appear to have connected the laser power supply correctly.

Refer to my pdf document for setting up Mach3 for optimum results http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16446.msg236132.html#msg236132

how should I control the power of laser power supply while engraving??

In your case you have to stop the engraving, change the PWM (spindle speed), then start engraving again.

This is one of the reasons I have a manual control of laser power (as shown in my earlier diagram) - I can change laser power mid session.

You need to contact Kazuki Tomura for his plugin.

which pin should be allocated to Digital Trig ?

Any spare output pin that you have unused.
I use port 1, pin 16 (enabled and set active low).
