Hello, I’ve had my Shapeoko 3 about six months and have less than 20 hours on it. Over the past couple weeks I’ve been using a diode laser controlled through the Shapeoko board’s PWN/GRN pins. Today the laser wouldn’t work, nor would my Shapeoko. I have power. I see a green a light on the PS and blue light on the board; however, the blue light will only come on for a split second after plugging in. I’ve reset the board, restarted several times and even tried a different computer. No Luck!
Carbide advised they can’t support this issue because it’s related to a third party modification.
I’m not sure if my board is worthless, but is there any ‘easy’ way for me to test before shelling out $100 on a new board? Also, if I do have to buy a new board, is there any others I should get that would be better? I’d really like one I could easily plug in my laser. Thanks - Rick
