Hard set maximum PSU power

#1 · July 10, 2020, 4:40 pm

Hi, i would like to set PSU so it wont exeed 20mAh.

And i would like to do so on PSU, so if i connect it to different computer, i wont damage my tube if i forget to set proper power in lightburn.

Would it be possible?

(hope this is the right place to ask)

Thanks.

Hi, you can set the S parm in Lightburn and Mini Gerbil ($30). Noramlly you sync them and set both to 1000. (1000 points range for 20mA)

If you make the Mini Gerbil range 1200 instead of 1000 (lightburn or gcode laser app's power range or strength) then you have a safe margin. However it might impact you user experience because the values for engraving might not be the same as your friend's machine.

Hope this helps!
