How do I switch between the router and laser using the interface on a Lead 1510? I can switch between a Lead 1010 with a laser and a normal router using the control software. Also, how do I wire in an IoT relay to control either the router or air assist using a BlackBox X4? bit of info I am using vectric with laser module for design software and tool path creation.
Either docs:blackbox-4x:iot-and-laser [OpenBuilds Documentation] or simply control which device is powered on (router off for laser jobs and vice versa) Use the Coolant port: docs:blackbox-4x:connect-coolant [OpenBuilds Documentation]
Ok that is a good way to switch between the devices but software wise is there a way to update the interface control without changing firmware on the usb?[ QUOTE="Peter Van Der Walt, post: 150137, member: 69967"]Either docs:blackbox-4x:iot-and-laser [OpenBuilds Documentation] or simply control which device is powered on (router off for laser jobs and vice versa) Use the Coolant port: docs:blackbox-4x:connect-coolant [OpenBuilds Documentation][/QUOTE]
Do you mean laser mode? Either include the $32 commands in your CAM setups GCode Header ($32=0 in router jobs and $32=1 for laser jobs) so its automatic, or change manually on Interface via the usual Tools and Utils > Edit Grbl profile > laser mode option
or you can create 2 small gcode files to do it for you and keep them on the interface. one has $32=1 for laser mode on and the other has $32=0 for laser mode off. Best is to include them in your post processor or cam setup header output so every job has the code it needs.
