I'm installing a 20w laser on my CNC and I control the power of laser using the spindle pwm. The software LightBurn use M67 to control the laser power. I modify the HAL file to connect  analog-out-00 to the spindle PWM and set the scale. The laser is ok and the power change. Can i use the slide of spindle override to increse and reduce  the new laser signal ????  I'm not expert to configure linuxcnc. 

I’m about to start virtually the same conversion on my Shizuoka ST-N, has the same Bandit and motors. Do you still have that documentation available? The above link doesn’t seem to work.

I really appreciate the insight. I initially thought it might be a brake resistor but the 'dynamic braking package' on page 88 is only listed as an option for the larger 7.5-20HP inverters whereas this is a 5HP model. I've put in a request with TB Woods and Vacon but this is a 12 yr old, discontinued and obsolete product...

HI GUYS

i played with the carousel comp.. and .. possible i am too stupid for it... but.. after the homing/indexing is done.. my carousel stays at tool 1. Tool 1 is the original position where the index sensor is engaged.

so if i start the machine... home xyz.. and i call m6t1.. the toolchanger makes his initial homing.. and then stays. 

if i start m6t4 as example... toolchanger search for index signal... find it.. and then goes to tool 4. Tool4 is then shown.

if i then call m6t1.. it goes to tool 1.

i play virtual with it.. mesa 7i92 with buttons and switches.. and looking to the halpins.

i search for the solution that when the m6t1 is called .. that the indexing/homing.. said.. ok now its homed and we are at tool 1.

another question.... if i had the index signal on another toolslot.. how to tell this to the carousel comp that pocket/position X is the reference point?

i use index as mode.. every tool has a detection screw which is detected by a proximity sensor-2 and index is another proximity sensor-1 that look for the screw on tool 1 which cant detect by the sensor-2.

but on tool1 sensor1 and sensor2 are active.
sensor1 looks for index
sensor2 looks for position reached.


thanks
 

I tried setting the spindle speed to s1000 And then my Linux screen goes off the side showing this s number. Can someone shed some light on this? I thought it had something to do with the scaling in the hal, but if I mess with that the spindle speed is way off.

 

Thanks in advance
