can you point me in the right direction for air assist? i had a google and it came up with all sorts! its probably best i get good ventilation sorted.

ive just gave it a go on sanded ply wood on the reduced feed rate of 200 and its done better but its still very faded and there is not engraving to it just a slight burning mark i will get out some better qaulity wood and give it a go although it has perviously gave good results engraving the ply wood as i did my childrens teachers some personalised thank you plaques.

ps i am only doing basic writing as a test.

so i did what you suggested and took it off after 3 passses to discover it wasnt showing anything on the reverse at all. so ive brought a different mirror with a white backing to see if it was just the mirror and it is fading like you asked before. ive resent it in the hope 2 passes will sort it out! its missing out the detail

@Dejan-Ranisavljevic said in EleksCAM v3.1 -:

I need help connecting the laser module to the TTL connector in the CNC sheld. Which pin on the CNC sheld are used for TTL?
To which pins on the CNC sheld are the end stop switches connected?

Thanks in advance for the help

@famf2020 That isn't an Eleksmaker laser module and also not really 15W output, probably around 3W. If you have it wired correctly perhaps there's a switch to change mode? Post some pictures.

@ferrun If you are asking about videos for T2Laser. There's a series of videos in the Help menu and also if you check my website you'll find a getting started video from a user.

@Zax merci beaucoup c'est un très bon programme

Salut ! j'ai acheté un module bluetooth H-06 que tu peux brancher tres facilement sur la carte Mana dans les broches à droite. Seulement sur le logiciel benbox, il le détecte en com8 et com4 mais le firmware n'a plus l'air d'être valide...

@Zax just thought id update, i took your advice and got a 2500mW EleksMaker module. It finally arrived today and its brilliant! we are going to be purchasing the t2 software tonight and using it to make some last minute engraved thank you gifts for our kids teachers

@Jazzy Software bug, one of many which is why I wrote T2Laser.

@mawu You should not be getting this if you are using my firmware and parameters. If you have used other software these were probably changed so you will need to reset them.

If that doesn’t work you can enable dynamic laser mode but my parameters are optimized so that’s the best option.

@Opticat The laser and servo both use the same Nano output, so you can only have one connected at a time. I don't know anything about the Eleks software so can't help you with that.

I reflashed the firmware on the control card and swapped the wires like you said and it works fine now, Thank You very much for your time and help.

may be it had a defect and you didn't know what you bought it.

@alessandroaxa Have you tested with T2Laser and Grbl 1.1e DEFAULT firmware?

Does your machine have a single power supply for laser and controller?

If so and the laser works you know the machine has power, so it seems unlikely both drivers have failed at the same time unless you move the machine by hand and have caused damage.

@Clutchoid You are welcome. If you are ever looking for excellent laser software check out T2Laser at least you know the support is up to par.

@Zax okay i will try all those things and hopefully it works, thank you!

Solved correcting a laser wiring and change the nano board!
