I have an LS-1416 laser that I can not get to run properly. When I laser an image on a flat piece of wood, it compresses the Y axis.
I would also like to try to burn some Mugs with my PiBurn rotary tool however I can not determine the proper “Circle Pulse” value.
The Boss USB FOB that came with the laser has a Rotary setup file that says 4250, notes by the previous owner say 8000, and PiBurn says to look at the Y axis DM-442 Stepper Motor Control module dip switch (which are set to 6400, and times this value by 2.5 which equals 16000.
On top of that Lightburn does not even have a “Circle Pulse” setting…, the rotary setup Window has a “Steps per Rotation”, is that the same as “Circle Pulse”?
I have been looking over the Boss Laser blogs, it looks like I am the 1st person to ever connect a PiBurn rotary tool up to a Boss Laser.
I sent an email to Boss Laser and they responded saying that the PiBurn rotary does not work with the LS-1416 Boss Laser becasue the rotary stepper motor on the PiBurn is a 3 phase motor whereas it must be a 2 phase to work with the LS-1416. Truns out that the PiBurn uses a 2 phase 57CM13 Leadshine stepper motor (the very same manufacture that made the DM-442 Stepper Motor Control module inside the LS-1416).
I wonder if my Y axis dip switches are set wrong, does anyone know what the Y axis dip switches are suposed to be set to on the DM-442 (switches 5 through 8)?
Has anyone ever used a PiBurn rotary on a Boss Laser before?
Any help would be appreciated.
