General Mach Discussion / Re: Losing Config's After Computer Re-Starts

Just throwing in ideas...

The on-screen shortcut to Mach3 may be calling a different profile to the one you were last using.
Go into the Mach3 folder and double click the Mach3 application – this should bring up a list of current profiles – if there is more than one then try each until you find the correct one – note the profile name that works and change your desktop shortcut properties to the new profile name (note there is a space between the /p and the name).

If it’ any help…

This video https://youtu.be/8fUg6ebWut0 is Mach4 but it demonstrates just how an unused Axis Direction Pin can be used to switch the laser ON/OFF and a PWM signal to control laser power for a combined engraving and cutting toolpath.

The attached pic was laser produced on some scrap plywood using the Pokeys 57CNC controller.

The Mach3 motion controller I use on a daily basis is the Warp9 ESS.

I think it's a trait pretty unique to dogs ?

Hi Axia,

As I mentioned earlier the M11/M10 command set stops issues, such as the Dot Burn at the start of your laser line (as shown in your pic.) and without using a motion controller that supports those commands you are severely limited in what you can achieve with your laser.
As Reuelt suggests a micro switch may be a work-around but if you want to produce quality work then junk the cheap Chinese controller and invest in a controller that properly supports all the Mach3 commands.
