  reduce the max power. so if you are using 0-1000 power try 0-500. This will mean that 50% is half of half power or 25% This will give you more bands of grey.

  EleksCAM SW Not Starting

  Appears to me that EleksCAM does not support WIN XP OS.
  I moved EleksCAM to another machine with WIN 7 and it works with the WIN 7 OS.
  I had to change the Config settings to X-Rev.
  The laser arm is the Y axis and the large cross beam is the X axis.
  Doesn't appear the Weak Laser setting works, yet!
  There is no EleksLaser A4 in the Machine Select menu.
  Motor and laser cables need some form of support instead of dragging across the support arms.
  Green "Safety Goggles" should be replaced with Orange color, $6 off Amazon. I believe this oversight by EleksMaker/Banggood is a significant eye safety issue and should be corrected before operators eyes are damaged.

  My kit did not have the plastic drive belt clamps for the X axis so I had to "deal" with Banggood customer support and have them shipped from China. If no one else has this problem then mine was a one off, otherwise EleksMaker didn't have the parts when the kit was assembled and just pushed on.
  The ends of the 20 x 20 mm rails need a decorative trim cap, 20 for $3 shipped from China. Note to ElkesMaker...little things do make a difference!
  The Wiki assembly pictures should include a picture of the completed EleksLaser A4, what were they thinking?
  Updated profile with photo of my assembled A4.
  Placed unit on a 18x18 inch ceramic floor tile from Home Depot $1.80.

  Well, i've got a couple of parameters from which I can't find out what they do (and maybe they do nothing at all)
  These are the parameters:
  Control: Sport-T: ...ms
  Config: x-rev/y-rev
  Config: pluse (probally ment pulse) x 80.000 / y 80.000
  Config: accel x 200.000 / y 200.000
  Config: Hardware limit

  Thanx for the replies!

  @adamhaze You need to disable all power saving. In T2Laser I attempt to do that automatically (it works on most computers). I call it Insomnia Mode because your computer can't get any sleep

  @irdtec Hello,
  I have used most of the mentioned SW, but I have found some stopping or not working feature in all of them.
  T2laser allowed me to do everything I need to do. This means it is suitable for my needs.
  For cutting purposes it allows setting the number of passes (it depends on your laser power and the material you are dealing with).
  My workflow is:

  design with Inkscape (or import a picture and transform it to vector) save as DXF import DXF into T2laser set the appropriate speed/power/number_of_passes

  I am not a power user, but I think that T2laser is worth the cost.

  15W Diode Laser Discussion with measurements

  @martinisonline Actually the PWM frequency is easy to change, but won't help much. It is based on native 62.5kHz, so in addition to this high frequency the common options are:

  1/8 = 7.8kHz (used in v0.9)
  1/32 = 1.96kHz
  1/64 = 0.98kHz (current default)

  I suspect the diode is a standard 6W nubm44, so the recommended CW current is 4A @ 25°C (optical output would be ~6W) but the datasheet does specify a maximum current of 5A at pulse width 0.1us, 50% duty cycle.

  15W is totally unreasonable unless you want it to last a few hours, any reputable manufacturer would rate this as a 5.5W.

  Vinyl decals came out quite well, even the matchstick thick flamingo legs did not get damaged when I removed the transfer tape so9 now need to think of a new project, only problem as noted elsewhere was setting the 'acreage' to get the sizes I want.
