Benbox doesn't seem to like my laser on XY Plotter


#1

The problem is,Benbox is able to recognize the board and upload it’s firmware,motors do move and draw but the laser does not turn on when I use Benbox…When I unplug the orange plug from the port the light that the port is active lights up,but when I plug the orange plug back in it just turns off and laser does not run.The laser powers on and engraves with no problem when I use mDraw but with Benbox it refuses to turn on.Could it be due to my Orion board malfunctioning?The laser I currently got is just a fresh replacement as previous one was completly broken.It is the official XY Plotter laser upgrade pack.

Hi Bleky,

Please check the following note and switch the order of the two wires coming from laser have a try.

Interchange the connections of the laser. The polarity is reversed as opposed to MDraw. Property with me the problem solved with a double switch.
