Omnimusha I do not understand how to implement or manage the pwm pulses of 0-255. I have arduino mega + ramps v 1. 4. I understand that pin 44 is pwm. I also have this To be. https://m.banggood.com/450nm-3500mW-3_5W-Blue-Laser-Module-With-TTL-Modulation-for-DIY-Laser-Cutter-Engraver-p-1103261.html?rmmds=orderdetail I work with the laser with this code. ///// int led = 9; // the PWM pin the LED is attached to int brightness = 0; // how bright the LED is int fadeAmount = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { // declare pin 9 to be an output: pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } // the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop() { // set the brightness of pin 9: analogWrite(led, brightness); // change the brightness for next time through the loop: brightness = brightness + fadeAmount; // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade: if (brightness <= 0 || brightness >= 255) { fadeAmount = -fadeAmount; } // wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect delay(30); } ///// I send this from the console.

Repetier Should work, yes. At least is no other function like fan or so uses pin 44 as well.But also notice that it only enables laser on G1 moves if you have enabled the laser with M3 before the move. If it stands still laser will be off.
