Hello!

I'm in the stage of cutting my first square to ajust the size.

It wat quite dificult to find out but i'm getting there!

When I fire the laser on the dsp it fires. But when I want to cut the square it makes the shape but the laser does nothing.

I't must be simple but I cant find it. What must I change in the settings?

Check two things:
1. The power setting, for both cut and corner need to be > zero and enough to actually fire the laser (> 10% or so).
2. You have to tell the laser whether to use the settings from the software or from the control panel. This is done in a menu item on the control panel.
