Using V2.2112 , wired as per the wiring diagram in the manual , wired output pin 17 port 1 to the ttl wire on the diode laser.

Set laser output pin/port in i/o output page 1 to pin 17 port 1

Using Gcode (Laser)

Now the laser is on as soon a I turn the main power to it on , at no stage does the laser go off with M11 or change with M10 settings.

in diagnostics I can see pin 17 turning on and off

I have checked ttl wiring and when O volts applied to it laser is off , when open circuit or 5V applied laser is on
checked 12V power wiring and earth wiring - all good

Laser has 12V , Gnd and TTl wires only

For some reason pin 17 port 1 on the AXBBE is not going low when a M11 issued . I have tried setting laser pin to active low - no change


Any ideas or have I missed something - spindle operation is as std with control of VFD - do I need to make a seperate profile and disable spindle ?

I can find very little in the manual about M10/M11 setup

Found the problem , my AXBBE is non functional on pin 17 port 1 , moved the wiring to pin 16 port 1 and changed setting in software and it works fine.

tested pin 17 by wiring again and its dead

I never tested pin 17 before and its most likely out of warranty now

We test all I/Os on all AXBB-E controllers using automatic tester boards, so it is not possible that it was not working, because it would then not pass the test.

Well I have one that has no control , works if I use pin 16 but not 17 ??? and yes i change the software pin from 16 to 17 and vise versa.

Maybe something else is also configured to that pin?

No because if it is the the software wont allow you select it , I have checked and it shows activation and deactivation on the diagnostic screen when using pin 17 port 1 and it changes to pin 16 port 1 when I change the wiring and software setting , checked every setting and pin 17 is not configured anywhere else . If the distances and time did not take so long I would just send it back for repair - I will just live with it
