LASER ON/OFF issue

JeromeJerome
in Repetier-Firmware
Hi, Still struggling with laser.

When manually moving laser head with G1 laser is on 
When manually moving laser head with G0 laser is on

What i did.
* replaced arduino mega
* tried older firmware
* tried older version repetier host
* assigned different pin for laser TTL output, laser on when pin is high
* erased eeprom from arduino multiple times before uploading new firmware
* deleted directories before installing new firmware/software
* delete all repetier files in c:\users\my name\local
* ran CCleaner to clean up my reg file

even after all these steps no improvement.

Still when I start repetier host a list of flies I printed shows up ??

I want to install everything from scratch, maybe the only solution?
How to delete all files from repetier host, server, eeprom, registry etc. zo I can start a complete clean installation

thanks

    Don't do all the reinstalls. It is in firmware or the gcode you send or a combination. 
    My problem is that I'm too busy to test myself at the moment.

    You could test without M3 and only use increasing E values where you want to laser. That is the second mode to operate. Or you add some print comments in Commands.cpp where G0/G1 is parsed. You will see it contains the test for laser on/off which in some cases fail, so a variable it depends on seems to be initialized wrong or get overwritten unexpectedly.

    I am not a programmer so this is abracadabra for me.
    For now I can use software I found which uses M3 and M5 and is working.
    I's rather use the right way; repetier plugin for inkscape.
    Since your're too busy I just wait this issue to be solved in the future.

    One last question for now. 
    Where is the list of printed models located that show up when starting repetier?

    Thnks

    On the sd card in your printer. Host fetches them at connection start.

    Suggestion for the repetier plugin for inkscape.
    Add the possibility to switch laser on/off with M3 and m5 command instead of the G0/G1 as it is now.
