Mirror Alignment
Set Mini Gerbil in CNC mode via ‘$32=0’, than you can switch-on the laser at rest via the G-code commands: ‘M3’/’M4’ and off via ‘M5’. Use the ‘Sxxx’ command to set the output power e.g ‘S200’ for 2mA output. If you use a macro or script to execute these commands, you probably need a pause: ‘G4’ is the dwell command that pauses a second. Don’t forget to set ‘$32’ back to ‘1’ (Laser mode) for safety.
- $32=0
- M4 S200
- G4 P10000
- M5
- $32=1
Tip: You can define a macro in LightBurn to execute these commands and call the macro button “test fire”
