I also needed to use a DB25 Gender Changer to connect with my BoB. You need to connect the ESS to your Break out Board (BoB) using the supplied Parallel port and header cable. Setting up a Mach3 (R3.043.056 or later) Laser Profile to control a laser through the ESS is as follows: Basic Connections This is why the M11 and M10 commands are used, they synchronize the laser on/off with motion. There are several components within this write-up including…Īs all M3 and M5 GCode commands take at least 1/10th of a second to activate, laser firing with these can be as much as a full second off. Hopefully this will save you a lot of time setting up your Endurance Laser and Mach3. The main chunk of this write-up is based on the help I got from Andy (Warp9 Tech Design) and also the Jtech website. I’ve read through hundreds of posts and threads as well as experimented a lot before I actually got satisfactory results. I have compiles this write-up based on a lot of information available online. Thus, I’ve been assigned to do a detailed write-up to put into our archives. Many of us are still relatively new to controlling a laser using PWM. This write-up is for any new members and anyone that hasn’t even posted yet. We recently did a survey to see what setups everyone was using and there’s almost 20 running the Endurance Laser with Mach3, Vectric and the Warp9, Ethernet Smooth Stepper (ESS).
Although our members are predominantly 3D printers there’s a surprising amount of homemade CNC owners (like myself). The Endurance Lasers site is relatively new but we now have over a thousand members.
