How do I turn on my diode at low power to focus it or frame a job?

Diode lasers often don’t have a red-dot pointer like CO2 lasers do, so it is often useful to enable them at low power for focusing or framing. (Please do NOT do this if you have a CO2 laser, as the beam is invisible and this could blind you or start a fire) In LightBurn, go to Edit > Device Settings, or click here: [image] Turn on the ‘Enable Laser Fire Button’ switch (make it green): [image] Quit LightBurn and re-run it.

Dear Oz,
Thanks for you prompt response, I did exactly as you request and nothing happens.

Do you have any other idea ?

thanks ahead,

Any other idea ?

Did you click the laser fire button after you enabled it?

[LightBurn (Oz)]

That isn’t necessary to frame with the laser on. You do need to set a power level for it to use that isn’t zero, but that’s all.

Honestly no - if you followed the guide I posted, that should be it - it works for everyone else.

Are you getting any errors in the console? Is it framing and just not turning on the laser, or is it not framing at all? Give as much information as you can think of - saying “it didn’t work” doesn’t give much to go on.

Yes I did and nothing happened.
