EleksLaser A3 Pro settings for PicLaser

[BobF]

Hello

I just bought a EleksLaser A3 Pro which is working quite well.
I'd like to know if anyone would have the settings for laser engraver for me to put in PicLaser.

Regards

Hi Bob,

What version of grbl does it use? Is it capable of PWM laser control to engrave grayscale? If so, look on Page 9 in the Tutorial for starting place settings. Depending on the laser diode's wattage, adjust the feedrate setting.

Hi Jeff

It uses the grbl .9. I finally found out how to control the laser power. The software delivered with the laser engraver does only on/off!
After some trial and error, I'm getting some good results with PicLaser and PicSender!

I'll make some advertisement for those on the Eleksmaker forum

Hi Bob,

That's great. You may want to update your grbl to the one that can be downloaded on this forum's main page. It uses Pin 11 & ground for the PWM laser control.
