Hi, I have just received an Elegoo Phecda 20w and am learning the basics. I have been able to run test pieces using LaserGRBL but when I try to do the same via Lightburn, even though I have the power set to 100%, it is clearly at probably 1% as it isn’t engraving at all. Anyone know what’s wrong?
Hi Kevin, could you do a screenshot of your settings and upload.
Makes it easier to figure out what’s going wrong.
Someone will get to you asap.
Hi Chris, hopefully these two shots cover it, any help appreciated
Kevin
You do realize you are trying to run a diode laser at 150,000 mm per minute?
It will never go that fast, but you need to slow it WAY down.
Switch to mm/min. and to 2000 speed at 50 power just to try it.
Then do a material test.
I do now! Thanks Mike, that’s sorted that out. I was simply copying the quick start video on youtube.
