Hello everyone,
First of all CONGRATULATIONS to all developers for this awesome software, I love the futures, and easy of use (after wathing a tutorial )
I made a few engraves from an dxf file, came out quite nice, but now I wanted to test a sample raster photo, and the generated code seems to have the S parameter to small, the range is around 0.1 - 0.7. The light on the laser doesnât turn on on such low Power settings.
I pasted a sample code the was generated, with the Min Power set to 50 and Max power set to 100:
G21 ; Set units to mm
G90 ; Absolute positioning
; Pass 0
; First Move

On my previous test, where I engraved with Power set to 10, the gcode looked like this:
G21 ; Set units to mm
G90 ; Absolute positioning
M4 S0 ; Enable Laser/Spindle (0 power)
;
; Operation: 0
; Type: Laser Cut

Any ideea why the S is so low when I used the Laser Raster setting?
Thank you!
