No Laser Output/Fire

Good Morning all.

I received my Mini Gerbil and Lightburn a few days ago. Installation was a simple as a drop in and Lightburn recognized it right away. I changed and inverted my Y pins /+Homing and Laser homing and movement is 1:1 in the software.

- My Issue is I get no laser fire/power.

  • TEST FIRE works on the Power supply (Type 1)
  • Wiring from Power to MiniGerbil verified.
  • Grounding verified.

Mini Gerbil BLUE LED on for the entirety of the test fire (software) or project cut.

  • S-Value max = 1000
  • Layer Power Min/Max = 100% (Attempted Line and Fill type)

I'm unsure where to head next and would very much appreciate anyone time in assisting me.

Hi Dan,

Please send a photo of your controller connected through to the power supply.

Could you confirm which firmware version you have by typing $i [enter] into the console? If it reports serial number 12353 then you have the new firmware. In which case, type

$98=0

$99=1

And advise if the problem persists

If the photos look fine and the above firmware settings don't make a difference, then we'll sort you out with a replacement unit.

Cheers

Dan

Hey Dan, Thank you.

The Attached picture is the wiring.

Ground checked and at first the Power Supply was not grounded. I scrapped paint and made sure all boards, laser and case is grounded.

I'm still dead in the water - no laser fire.

Would there be a better place I should utilize support? I would like to get my Laser up as soon as I can.

 

Hi Dan, I've emailed you to organise a replacement
