OK this is one of those " should be simple" but for I have not figured out how to get the M11 command to work triggering a laser diode.
I do have it working with the M07 and M09 commands for the flood control. but flood control has enough delay to notice a deeper burn from the delay.
I also have the latest version of MACH3 that has the M11/M10 laser support.
I'm just doing simple on/off. The signal is connected to pin 17 of a break out board. The BOB is connected to PORT 3 of a smooth stepper. In the MACH3 plugin control I have port 3 enabled as an output.
Question one on the M command. As I understand it, in the G code the command has to look more like this: M11P1 So the "P" is that for a pin out, as in pin 17 from the BOB. So in my case it should read as M11P17 ? Or do they mean OUTPUT#1 ? from the ports and pins set up?
