step by step:

-put it back to mode 2, witch should enable laser beam by using input1
-MDI M3 S1000 -> beam should stay off
-measure with between GND and input1 (input1 disconnected)
-if you measure the 4.9v make link from Input 1 to  GND

so with a M3 S1000 the laser beam itselv should stay off now?
and if you put 5V with a wire from your BOB to the enable Input 1 (terminal 3) it should turn on?

ok small correction:

you will Need a 10k pullup resistor connected between 5v and pin8 at bob.

ok that means we have General power control from laser with S command.

next step would be to get ON/OFF control via Output (M10/M11)

if i look to this Manual:
https://optlasersgrav.com/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=56

there are two Enable Inputs listed on the Interface.

on page 29 is descibed

How to Check Enable Option in PLH3D-CNC Adapter

can you pls do this check?

then you have to set enable Options like described on page 30

mode 2 (mode description page27) should be the right one.
then you Need to connect port1 pin8 to enable input1 (terminal 3), and the you should
have ON/OFF control via M10P1/M11P1

did you do the test with MDI?

ok lets try step by step

first test with MDI Input (no Gcode running):

1st Input:       M3 S200         ->this should turn ON laser with low power
2nd Input:       M3 S0         ->this should turn OFF laser

if you exceute a M3 S200 in MDI line this should Switch on laser with low power,
and if it's on make the Bridge to see what is Happening.

according to the Picture you posted here:

https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=44431.0;attach=55305

make a quick test, turn your laser ON then make a wire Bridge from terminal 4 (GND) to terminal (enable input1). then laser should turn OFF.

easysies way would be ro connect a second bob to port 2.

something like this:  https://cnc4pc.com/ucsb-single-port-breakout-board.html
