Hi guys,
I am just wondering if somebody got a wiring diagram to connect the OUT2 to the timer/accumulator? Thanks.

I need to re-work on this part. I tried to use a Relay I/O board and a timer and was tying to find out laser usage time but then figured out that the laser output rate was faster than the relay board could responible. The laser may fire about 45s and I could get get a few seconds showing on the counter. I lost money for renting the machine to a customer doing knife engraving in my shop
. Lucky though it wasn't a big time. I charged him flat rate
He used my 60W to engrave some logo on his stainless knife (surface has some sort of coating on it).
So, I need to think think and may need to design a simple triggering circuitry to make it work better

Hi Marco, no problem at all, we all can wait.

FYI, it works great if you use OUT1. But the timer will count once XY stage is in motion, rather than the true laser usage time.
I think it is OK, isn't it? If so, you can get the Relay I/O board from here. It works great for that propose.
