Hey,

I set up an engraver as per JordsWoodShop video, (It looks like we have the same machine, if that helps). Had no issue getting LaserWeb to run and connect with the hardware, I can move the laser head and even generate GCode and start a job.

My issue is that I can’t turn the laser on through the software. The laser does work but there is no way for me to control it (and therefore use it safely).

Any advice?

@Crazza Is your board flashed with GRBL? Did you read and do this? https://github.com/LaserWeb/LaserWeb3/wiki/Firmware:-GRBL-1.1

I used XLoader instead of flashing the board normally. I thought this would not make a difference.

Thats ok. Whats important is that you have setup LaserWeb settings according to to whats in that link which directly relates to turning the laser On?off

Just flashed it with GRBL through the Arduino IDE. Same problem as before.

Yeah, set it on/off and checked the settings. The settings change when I change/check them but it doesn’t help unfortunately. Still no beam. Could it be a hardware issue?
