@alex-berardi I should be able to get an answer this weekend, it depends how modified it is.

@alex-berardi Got it. I will need some time to review their hex and see what they modified, do you have any G-code that works on this machine (controls laser power)?

I see on their site it says laser power control is possible on the v3 model only, but that's also the only one with Grbl mode. It looks like earlier versions were very limited and only supported image engraving with dither.

se me lo fate mandare te lo invio io il fie .rar oppure dammi un tuo contatto email in modo che io possa inviartelo

I just replied to your email so you can send it to me.

cliccando sul link che ti ho manadato scarica il file .rar dove ci sono gli aggiornamenti del software

Yes, I am downloading - seems slow or not working (only got to 4kb then stopped).

@alex-berardi No I am not sure but no one has mentioned otherwise. As I said it depends on the hardware and firmware but it seems odd they are selling a new machine without this feature as it has been standard for many years now.

If you have a copy of their 1.1f hex please send it to me and I will check it out, or at least Display Grbl Parameters and post them so we can check what settings they are using.

@ELMOSLASER If you want a different one, the Cronos Maker or Developower are similar and in some ways better but others worse... which is why overall the Eleks still wins for cost and features (for a laser, for a CNC the Cronos is best).

@alex-berardi To regulate laser power the hardware must support PWM. You can still achieve pseudo grey scale using either dithered or velocity modes. I am sure other T2Laser customers have reported normal operation including laser power control so perhaps you have a setting wrong in firmware, are you using my Grbl 1.1e DEFAULT?

@ELMOSLASER T2Laser works with any Grbl based controller (for direct communication) or any G-code compatible board if you save to SD etc.

Just get a board with the features you want, generally the Eleks Mana is a good choice.

@Grant-B Replace the Moshi board and everything will work correctly.

@ELMOSLASER If it were stretched I would agree but this appears slanted so unless it's slipping or losing steps I can't see how that's possible.
