« on: December 03, 2018, 11:32:26 AM »
Nice, and did it work..
Wan't to have the advantage of the 1.1Gbrl. Wan't limit switches added to my eleksdraw.
Can somebody help with this..
Even is i have to change to atmega2560.

tried the 3.5 and the 5watt laser..
Both having problems with laser dot. Horizontal its ok, but verticale het has twice the dot with.
so engraving or cutting is its not ok.
Now using the 2.3Watt thats ok with the laser dot..
For engraving you could use it for infill.
But for detailed images i wouldn't use it!!

Can somebody please check the 1.1f on a laser.
Homing works fine now. But when $32=1 laser mode enable. axis vibrate on contouring.
Wghen turned off $32=0 it runs great.. What does this bit when set enabled or disable ?

pin assignment is not the problem. Allready changed the hardware for that. But with the 1.1f firmware all axis vibrate in travel.
1.1e runs without shaking, but does not have the homing cycle..
Use the cnc mode in T2 and use z geoth of 5mm and 5 passes. works great!!!
But reacts a lot different with the 1.1f , and did reset the eprom and changed settings like it used to be.

thanks for the info,
But there are too many differences between 1.1f and the 1.1e.
Need the 1.1e in laser mode, and the homing of the 1.1f Z-XY version...
can somebody help me with that?

« on: December 10, 2017, 02:44:19 AM »ok, 1.1f has it enabled by default, I suspect the T2 version has it compiled with it disabled as lasers generally have no Z axis or limit, so you will need to install the regular 1.1F from github or compile your own.
from config.h
// NOTE: Defaults are set for a traditional 3-axis CNC machine. Z-axis first to clear, followed by X & Y.
#define HOMING_CYCLE_0 (1<<Z_AXIS) // REQUIRED: First move Z to clear workspace.
#define HOMING_CYCLE_1 ((1<<X_AXIS)|(1<<Y_AXIS)) // OPTIONAL: Then move X,Y at the same time.
// #define HOMING_CYCLE_2 // OPTIONAL: Uncomment and add axes mask to e
Used firmware 1.1f, does de homing cycle, but doen't stop on the limit switch.
can't see what is in the firmware concerning the limit switch for Z axis.
does it use another pin, like D10?

yes, by refrencing axis i meant homing the axis.
Thanks for the information...will try this...
I use a limit switch in top of the z-axis, and have a probe input too..
What i'm trying, is homing all axis, and set the focus distance by value preset.
using z-axis for cutting materials in vector mode with multiple passes.
So that my focus point will drop after each cycle.

pleae help with setup the Z-axis, to get Z-axis referencing automaticly.
Can it be done with the GBRL parameters, or should it be done by config.h in the source?
Got all setup, but ignores the Z-axis with reference.
It runs really well in CNC mode with the T2 laser software.

« on: December 09, 2017, 03:50:05 AM »
Hi,
Got the A3X elekslaser ... Always got problems with the short wires used by the designer.
Resulting in bad laserjobs, and unwanted axis stops.
Tried to redesign the whole wiring setup by using flatcable and suitable connectors.
Even attached the Z-axis for this design.
See pics for current looks
Laser is working very stable right now!!
