What power setting did you configure the job to? I don’t see how power is being set in that g-code.

Can you try running the attached gcode? How does it work? If there are errors can you paste them here?

I will test it today and report again.
My set power was 41 %

That’s what the “M10Q41” must be. You may need to add this and/or remove the S commands.

Oke i test the gcode you send but my cnc is running the gcode and follows the vector of the square.
But my laser stays off doesnt respond.

Wen i run my own made gcode that i made in Aspire that will runs perfect and i get what i want.
But i hope that i can generate a gcode of photos i want to make but then with dithering and Stucki or Jarvis. And tthen save it as gcode and then i can laser them so i get way better results.

Can you try this file? Be prepared to shut off the laser in case there is an issue.

If that works, can you try this one as well? It’s an image file in dither mode.

i go and try it out

Okay, both gcodes don’t activate my laser, it stays off.

My cnc just goes to the start position and then it follows the square and goes back to zero when it’s done.

This is the same for the Marling code, here in also goes to the small square and the cnc follows but the laser stays off.

Try this one please:

Yes with the last gcode my cnc goes to the start point laser goes on low power and follows the square and wen the square is ready laser goes off and goes back to start point.

sorry the forum let me not respond quicker because im a starter forum member.

This was lower power than the Aspire test? Or the same? I was trying to match the 41% power.

See if this version makes a difference.

I think the power is 3% i think but can we talk in messenger with each other i have must wait everytime 1 hour that i can reply to.

My name on Facebook is Andre Alexander i have awhite eagle as picture.

I don’t have facebook but you can DM me on this forum.

Can you try this version of the g-code? I’m hoping this is 41%

How can i pm you in here so you don’t have to wait that long for answer, maybe you pm me in here.

I test the last file it is more powerful, but it goes way to fast isee you putt 6000 mm min can you lower that to say 520 mm min.

I have made my gcode for just vectors lines like square, in Aspire and i can draw on thicker paper not cutting. The scale in Aspire goes from 0 % to 255 %
And i putt for the thicker paper 41% just to can draw on it not cutting true.
I will post the gcode of a other file also made in Aspire.
Maybe you have something that you can help.

And i will post the post proccesor i always use in Aspire to make the gcode only for vectors.

I hope i can make in lightburn my photos and then save it as gcode.

Two files one gcode one Stepcraft Aspire post prossesor

Made in Aspire and good values runs perfect.txt (53.3 KB)

Sorry about that. I thought I addressed that but was moving between designs.

Try these 2 files. First is a corrected version of the square. Second is a dither test.
