How to turn on laser beam for seting the dot

[Greenebbs (Marcel P. Gauthier)]

How do I turn on laser beam at low power so I can set the laser on the spot where I want it to start cuting?

Edit → Device settings

Enable fire button
Enable fire mode on frame

Then go to MOVE pannel - in front of fire button put 1% (or your desired value)

Thanks That Worked, but I cant find the Enable fire mode on frame. I s there a way to make the Fire button stay on longer?
Thanks for your help.

Will depend on your version of Lightburn
On latest

on earlier versions
Hold SHIFT + Press Frame

You should be on latest though

Which Enjoy Wood do you own? They make a 10.64nm combo machine.

This was great, thank you very much.

So how do you keep the laser on using the fire button so you can focus the beam? I can get it to frame with the laser on but it won’t stay on when I press the fire button.

Thoughts?

[Greenebbs (Marcel P. Gauthier)]

I’m trying to figure that out myself.

Once you set up everything. And you want to have the dot on at low power
move pannel - Click Fire button

Once done. Click fire button again
(Some machines firmware will limit this to 30 or 60 seconds)

Hmmm

It stays on for about 5 seconds and then stops…

I am running Marlin with an A40640 on an MPCNC…?

this goes a bit outside what i know.
Someone else with marlin experience might lay a hand
