Hello and hope all is well. I need some help in hooking up a laser to my Lead 1515 CNC with XPro V5 Controller. I have the controller hooked up to a VFD using the RS485 A/B switch and this is fine. With the above kit I added the offered laser module - some kind of Chinese 40W laser which has an on/off button on it and then 3 connection pins namely +12V, Ground and PWM. I am not sure how the laser should be connected to the controller. I have the firmware for the RS485 switch but I am not sure if this firmware can be used for the laser also? I connected the laser as per the XPro documentation and assumed that the laser can not receive an "Enable" signal. I don't really know how to tell if it does and am assuming it does not given the connection pins mentioned. I may be wrong as this is new to me. With the power on, I can hear the Xpro relay switching but it repeats like a car's indicator and that doesn't sound right to me...? Any direction on this will help. Thanks
I can't help with all of your questions, but I can tell you that if using RS485 you need to move the internal relay jumper to mist - otherwise all communication via RS485 switches the relay. Alex.
Please contact the vendor you purchased your controller from for tech support. We use the BlackBox: docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox
