    My Current setup is Gecko G540 and Mach3

    I recently purchased a OPTLASER PLH3D laser and am having issues connecting it to the Gecko.

    They state that this can be controlled through the PWM connections.

    I have 3 wires that come off the laser not counting the power wires

    white - Analog input 0-5V laser power is proportional to the voltage given on this input

    grey – TTL in 0-24V all voltage given over 3V on this input gives maximum power and all voltage below 2,5V gives no power

    yellow – Analog/TTL GND

    My issue is where do these wires go and how to config Mach3 to see the laser.

    Thanks for your time

    don't need to do in mach anything, (value laser = spindel speed) 0 to 10000
    wires are well explained @ opt laser page (should be a bleu wire also 0-10v)

    how i test/place the laser in mach manual mdi
    laser test P=time / S250 = spindle speed= strength laser (gives a nice bleu dot at 10cm height)

    S250
    M3
    G4 P10000
    M5
