Could you please send me your setting pictures of Match 3 ??

Sorry but that is not possible at the moment.

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).

So, as I understood, if I make my screenset, and I want to sell it, then anybody who bought it can change everything except of precompiled macroses. Am I right?

Yes, you are correct.
But please be aware that the protection of the various button macro's is really not that secure either.

That is correct pins IN and G will control laser power related to the duty cycle of the PWM signal.

Pins TL and G are the pins that would be used to switch the laser on / off (at the power level set by the PWM once M3 has been called) using the Digital Trigger from Mach3.

My diagram shows typical Mach3 connection to a laser power supply.

If you are not certain of your particular connections you should seek the advice of a laser engineer in your area.
