General Mach Discussion / Re: laser power control
« on: November 05, 2021, 11:50:47 AM »
Mach3 will turn ON/OFF an Output# using the M3 command but it is slow so the M11/M10 commands were introduced to speed things up. The Output# used by M11/M10 or M3 will not contain the PWM signal - this has to be on another Output#. To get laser ON/OFF switching at variable power settings (determined by the S### command) it is necessary to gate two signals and this I have tried to explain in this thread - https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=12444.msg265104#msg265104
Hope this makes sense.
