MLE-40, laserboard,
Installed have gotten the wiring to work correctly- gantry moves as designed-
Cannot control laser- can see the light on laser board showing that laser is firing but nothing from actual machine.
I can switch the laser switch on the MLE40 and the laser comes on and stays on. Only exception is if I unplug the yellow/green wires between LAserboard and MLE. When that connector is unplugged I can test the laser with the two green buttons.

I have an ohm reading from between the yellow/green wires from the laserboard- .163 ohms 0V. (I hit the “fire” button on the lightburn console with no change)
If I test between the pins on the MLE board I always have 5.35v whether the red switch is on or off.

I have been fighting this a year on and off- bought the board and haven’t had alot of time to mess with it since it didn’t work right off.

Any ideas would be appreciated- I’m about ready to throw it all away from all the time I’ve spent screwing around with it.

I just bought a new laser power source and will see if that takes care of it if you could look at the wiring and see what you think.

Thanks

As far as i can see you need to move your yellow wire one place.

green = laser FIRE
yellow = laser GND
