Can not use laser or spindle
-
All of the stepper motors work fine but the weak laser will not turn on nor will the laser to etch. also the spindle will not turn on when you try to start a project. I have tested the spindle and it works when you put power to it. If you turn the weak laser on and off on the laser its self you will see it flash for less than a second then turns off. I have tried several different software packages to drive the unit with no success. Any ideas?

unfortunately that did not help. I push the weak laser button on the unit and the led on it is flashing so that should mean that the weak mode is ready. I then go into the Eleksmaker software and tell it to turn on the weak laser and nothing. If I tell it to engrave the unit goes through the motion like it is engraving but the laser never turns on. the same thing happens with the spindle. All three stepper motors move the way they should to create the project just the spindle does not turn on.

maybe laser is broken？

I don't think so but how can i test that. I am thinking it has to do with the controller board because the spindle does not spin when you start up a project. anyway if you have away i can test the laser that could be helpful. i have tested the spindle and if you plug in the power supply directly to it it works.
