@o_lampe So, yes, no emergency switch or key lock, but it's only really me in my workshop, and the mains switch is mounted in front on a big red rocker switch. But, I'll grab a proper one next week after pay day. (Bought a laser, a bit broke now 🙂 right now my bed is a braai grid, and that's how it came. O.o )
On the switches, they essentially toggle switches. With 3 position activating the pin assigned to that pin. When flipped left the Pwm for the board is active, middle off, right the potentiometer, and I have them all next to one another so it's a sequence, turn off duet gnd, turn on psu gnd, second toggle turn off duet out6 turn on potentiometer, and I'm missing a switch there, there is a switch between the momentary and the psu 5v_out which enables the 5v and allows the momentary to fire the test. But, my wiring is wrong in any case, I need to move the momentary switch to the negative opposed to the positive in,. Sitting on positive it fires at full power. So I need to disconnect it and move the momentary to the negative. And disconnect the + in completely as it isn't needed.
I work through a sequence, Turn off, switch over, turn back on and align mirrors. Turn off, and switch back. It's arduous, but it works till I can figure out something better or we get a test fire command. And since I'm the only one that's ever in my workshop, I just need to make sure complacency doesn't kick in. Or I resolve it before it does. The above is definitely not ideal, and I know this. But I'm a network tech not an electrical engineer, and it took me 5 days to figure out what and how it's all meant to go together to actually work, now that I understand it a bit better, I can work on improvements. But no where could I find a diagram of how it should all piece together and what the config should look like and what the interface should even look like at the end of it all. For instance, the interface doesn't even let you know whether the tool is active or not, like you have in fdm mode, there is a T0 and that is it, you click on it and it un-selects it, which by the way is active, and selecting it so that it's highlighted is inactive. Nothing else to give you any idea whether or not you successfully configured it, and what power level you are currently at or a test fire. So for someone that has never worked with a laser before, and wants a bit of info on what they should expect to see, that is pretty much it, at least they won't spend 5 days trying to figure out that there is actually no information they will be presented with, because there is pretty much nothing that tells us what we should expect to see on a successfully configured machine in any of the guides or even in the forums. There are a few things mentioned here and there, and you kinda have to fumble your way through risking a hell of a lot more than what the above diagram very basically explains. And I live in the ass end of Africa. The people around here mostly think a duet is witch craft, and I'm one of the only people on any of the groups I'm a part of that runs them, so now, I asked above, got one reply, which I kinda understood, but am pretty sure doesn't have much to do with my board, and more aimed at the duet 2, so muddled my way through so others wouldn't have to, at least now they can see plug this here and make sure something is disconnected or bad juju could come down from above and remove magic smoke or far worse. But this is also a work in progress. I've already added in a door switch that cuts the power off from the firing pin so that if opened, you don't become a local red shirt.
