Hi,
I modified the file slightly for my needs and machine but here’s my output
2.5 W diode @ 445nm

I to have a 2.5W and would like to test this out. Did you base your settings of 10%-100% off of 100% max power?
Yes 100% of the 100% (full power)

Savardi, wouild you mind posting your laser scale?
Download the one at the top of this thread snd adjust it for you. I’m not home currently but can try to upload mine in 2 weeks (travelling).
Thank you for this @savardl! I was looking for something just like this to run on my 2.5w as well!

guys can you help me ,why did I circle the blue color burned and had holes while the middle one was not
I get an error when I load this file, @Rick, about some text file not being installed on my system??
This may just be a notification telling you that the font I used in this file is not available on your system, but would need to see the message to confirm.
Probably what it is.
So, I’ve a 90W tube.
I’m trying to dial in a setting to get a dark engraving on a veneer. So how do I adjust the power scale to be more fractional than huge?
Thanks!
John
Look at using ‘Overscanning’, which allows travel past the burn, so the laser has some time to turn around and start heading back.
Hmm. I guess I have some learning to do. I adjusted the speeds, that worked ok because that was at the layer level. Then I went to the black squares and adjusted the power %. Choosing any other color square selects the whole group - I guess I have to ungroup the layers and change the power on each one?
Thanks for making this, @Rick
Figured it out. Delete the other layers, then duplicate the black layer and assign it. Working great now! Thanks!

I had the same questions with my desktop k40, which I sold and bought a cabinet 60w. A lot of these Chinese cabinet lasers 60/80/100 have a power/amp digital meter inside the lower cabinet. After a lot of looking I simply ran a test myself on my machine. Got some material and started using the pulse button at 8% which I got a 1 ma reading. 10% 4 ma,15, 20% the same at 5 ma 25/7 na, 30/9 ma, 35/10 ma, 40/12. 45/13. 50/15, 55/16, 60/17, 65/18, 70/19, 75/21, 80/22, 85/23m 90/95/98 were all 24ma. 98 was the maximum I could set with ruida controller. Not sure if this is useful or not, nonetheless, run your own tests and copy your results. Needless to say mirrors aligned and clean mirrors and lens.
Thankyou for this burn test file. I’m sure this will help me out a lot.

Thanks for the share! I would like to run this on several other types of material. I have an 80W OMTech laser and when i ran this it ran fine but the lettering would not run. I ran this on a piece of popular wood. This is only my 3rd attempt to run anything but my 1st on this. Just wondering if I didnt do something correct?
