Hi Craig,

Thanks for the head-up about the CR/LF.
 
Those characters are actually in the code but I have no idea why they have not been recognized.

Whilst large QR can be generated the current readers are still expecting to see less than a couple of hundred characters.

Hi Shady,

The attached Gcode file (originally used as a test with Mach4) has been modified for use with Mach3 and the M11/M10 commands.
It alternately switches between cut and engrave toolpaths (using S5000 and S10) as shown in this short video:

Hope this helps.

Hi Shady,

This explains the use of the M11/M10 commands:  http://hobbycncart.com/publ/cikkek/mach3_temaju_cikkek/switching_a_laser_under_mach_control/8-1-0-29

For vector work you may need to modify the post processor that you use to replace the +Z commands with the M10P1 and the -Z commands with M11P1 and then set the S### to your desired laser power level.
The photo engraving plugin is slightly different - it places it's output on the Digital Trigger pin and the M11/M10 commands are not used. The S### command is inserted manually.

Hi Mauro,

In Demo mode, Mach3 will only run the first 500 lines of the Gcode file.

A license is required to run the full Gcode http://www.machsupport.com/shop/mach3/

It appears that the line >Call SetOemDRO (2,PlateThickness)< is not being seen. Originally this line was >Call SetDRO (2,PlateThickness)< but the Z Axis would be attributed with the updated Retract value (not the X Axis as was intended).

Have you tried:   Call SetDRO (0,PlateThickness)   ?

Hi Shady,

Welcome.

By far the easiest method I have found for PWM laser output power control is described here: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.msg194200.html#msg194200

It will take forever to go through the whole thread but you may find some things there that are of interest to you.
