Hello all,
K40 machine with ramps/marlin modification and using LaserWeb running on a raspberry pi:

Originally the machine was regulating laser power by a separate analogic power selector, i removed it and the connected the input to the ramps to be used as PWM.

Now i want to align my laser, but i don’t know how to set the PWM to 10% of power and then use the “test” push button on the panel to fire it manually, is there any way to do that?

If you are running Arduino/Ramps 1.4 with Turnkey Tyranny’s Marlin firmware, it is in the Laser Functions Menu—>Test Fire–>Dropdown menu with various power and time settings.

i don’t have the LCD/sdcard yet, i think you were talking about some menu there?

As host i’m using laserweb, and there is no this menu as i can tell.

Anyway, i found the test button was having a broken wire, so, after sobstitution, it works and my issue is solved, thanks anyway
