Hello! I just installed a laser onto my LEAD 1010 running thru the Blackbox Controller. While testing in Openbuilds Control, it works just fine. I can click on to power the laser at different power levels and all seems good. When I get out of Control and go into Lightburn I select my machine and am able to jog, etc. correctly. However, when I hit the fire laser button it barely lights the laser up whether it's 1% or the maximum of 20%. It does fire, but it's so faint you can barely see it. I checked the max spindle speed set in the controller, and it's 255. I also checked the max spindle speed in Lightburn, and it's 255. For the life of me, I can't figure out why Control powers it up all the way and Lightburn barely sends a signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Peter. This is how I set it up in Lightburn. I just wish I knew why the laser won't power more than a faint light in Lightburn but it works great in Control. I can't make sense of it.
Laser power for the toolpath set to 100%? May be best to ask the Lightburn forum directly on this one though - their own developers hang around there (not here): LightBurn Software Forum Also use the Search on their forum, seems it has been asked before several times, read through and see if it applies to you? Lightburn working but not able to get full power Laser not working at full power Full power for laser Cannot get Lightburn to put out enough power
