I recently purchased the SLB and have not been able to get my LaserBeam to work. I have followed all the setup instructions . $395 is set to SLB spindle, $511 set to (spindle 1) SLB Laser. When I select laser and laser in the drop-down box I checked to make sure $30 = 255, $31=0, and 32= SLB la…

After speaking more with @DAMPPALMER and him following the video I showed, I feel confident that Dana’s board had some component issue so we’re sending a replacement. Dana if you still have issues once the new board arrives feel free to open a new topic on it and @Spamming_Eddie thanks for your cont…

@Wills The $31 things has come up before. It won’t cause any issue if it is at 1. I wish that the solution could be that simple. :grinning:

Interesting that the lights work differently.

I do have 2 green lights on #11 & 14 and red light #15 when laser is activated. Still getting 0 voltage at laser connection.

@Wills @DAMPPALMER I was just reading the SLB tech doc. Be sure that your laser is plugged into the bottom two of the 3 pin port on the SLB. The LB only had two pins on the board, so you couldn’t get it wrong. The SLB has a 3-pin port so, to repeat, make sure you are plugged into the bottom two.

I guess I’ll try going back to the LB and test the LaserBeam from there. I have checked that several times to make sure the connection is correct.

Yes it is connected correctly, I am getting 0 volts with a voltmeter

@DAMPPALMER Keep in mind that you will get 0 volts unless the machine is moving.

I checked it both ways moving and not moving, I still have 0 Volts

Hey! I’m not sure if this is a miscommunication in our docs so I took some time today recording a video showing how I start with a stock SLB and get it working with a laser. I’m also going to link this video in other open threads that seem to be having the same issue. Check it out and let me know if…

@chrismakesstuff Tks for posting this Chris. One question. I understood that the rational for setting max speed/power to 255 with the LB was because of the limitation of the 8-bit uno. If that understanding was correct, what is the rational for keeping it at 255 now that we are running a 32 bit pro…
