Redmine LAOS Laser - Bug #62 (Closed): Menu move moves past machine limitshttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/issues/622012-12-06T16:25:02Zdaviddavid@nut-bolt.nl
<p>When using the MOVE command it is possible (and easy) to make the machine move past its limits. It should be fairly simple to constrain the X and Y axis to the values specified in config.txt.</p>
<p>Fix can be added around line 269 in LaosMenu.cpp</p> LAOS Laser - Bug #36 (Closed): Laser power varies within jobhttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/issues/362012-08-28T11:56:48Zdaviddavid@nut-bolt.nl
<p>The HPC laser cutter in my workshop (JCW's laser) sometimes varies laser power within a job. 20-25mA seems to correlate with full power (100% duty cycle), under 5mA to no power (0% duty cycle).</p>
<p>I've checked the lgc file and it sets power, speed and frequency once in the file.<br /><pre>
7 101 10000
7 100 1900
7 102 1500

<p>We've added a connector between the laser current wires and hooked it up to the correct connector on the board (exhaust enable). The laser doesn't turn on anymore regardless of the 'power' level specified in Visicut.</p>
<p>In fact, checking with a battery, an LED and resistor hooked up to the pins of exhaust enable shows that the exhaust enable isn't doing anything at all. We've swapped over the optocouplers but that didn't help either.</p>
<p>For now, we've added a jumper to the laser pwm connector and are using the front panel 10-turn pot for laser power. It would be great, however, if PWM worked.</p> LAOS Laser - Feature #19 (Closed): Laser on time logginghttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/issues/192012-07-25T12:06:19Zdaviddavid@nut-bolt.nl
<p>Seeing that the laser tube life is limited, it would be a nice feature to log the amount of time the tube has been on in flash or eeprom.</p> LAOS Laser - Feature #18 (Closed): Add hard/soft limits for axeshttps://redmine.laoslaser.org/issues/182012-07-23T16:10:15Zdaviddavid@nut-bolt.nl
<p>At the moment, no hard or soft limits are enforced within the firmware. It is possible to jog past the limits. Also, faulty jobs can crash the axes into their end stops.</p>
<p>As soon as the device is homed it should be aware of its maximum and minimum X and Y (and Z) positions based on the limits in the config file. Therefore, it should not allow movement past these limits.</p>
