    I fixed my issue of not being able to connect the blackbox to my cpu from ya'lls help. However, now I have a new issue. I also have a diode laser connected to this machine. I have the pwm wires going to the tool head output of the blackbox. It has always ran the laser fine. However, I am in the process of downloading all the new software on the new computer. I run the laser with lightburn.
    I have been able to connect the laser and run a job. However, the laser will come on and I can see the beam, but it will not burn anything. not even cardboard. I have a feeling it is a setting within lightburn to control the pwm from the blackbox, but I don't know. What can I do?
    Thanks again!

    What are your $30, 31, and 32 values?

    I believe you need these, but I am unfamiliar with lightburn:

    These are what I have. I tired $30 = 255 just to see, but it didn't change anything.

    Thanks!
