Another M4 error with DLC32 V2.1.003 #409

Hi everybody.

I have replaced an eleksmana SE with a DLC32 V2.1.003. Everything works fine but the laser. I tried a lot of things from other subjects in the forum and posts on internet but nothing worked for me.

When connected , the DLC returns [ORIGIN:China] [PRODUCER:MKS_DLC32] [DATE:20220905] [VER:1.1h.2023052701:] [OPT:VPHSW,15,256] Target buffer size found [MSG:Machine Name:MKS DLC32] [MSG:Mode=AP:SSDI=MKS_DLC:IP=192.168.4.1:MAC=24-DC-C3-0A-11-AD]

On the DLC32 H35 screen : Board:MKS DLC32 CNC V2.1 V2.3(8M.H35.20230527) CPU:Freq:240MHz/ T:50.0C/ ID:44049

When i try to start a stream with lightburn or lasergrbl, i get the following message : [MSG:M4 requires laser mode or a reversable spindle] error:20 Unsupported or invalid g-code command found in block.

The laser mode is well activated $32=1 Don't known where the problem is ? Any idea ? thank's

i have same problem,almost certainly the problem is the latest firmware

It was in fact a firmware issue. The V2.3(8M.H35.20230527) provided with the board had issue with m4 command event the laser mode ($32=1) is enabled. I have flashed the board with an older one (V2.30_H35_2022_1223_N_ZX_001.bin) downloaded here on github :https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-DLC32/tree/main/firmware/TS35/Laser/Normal/Board_V2.0 10 Now it works perfectly with lightburn and M4 command even via USB and TS35 Screen connected !

Finally, i just changed the value $23 from 5 to 3 to have the same origin position than lightburn. So my old eleksmaker A3 is more silent, capable of working standalone or via wifi, able to drive a rotary module and can do homing via limit switches.

bad for me, I had to compile the source code to swap the pins of the Y axis with those of the Z axis (on the board there are 2 connectors for the Y motors, but I have 2 motors in the Z axis) and I don't know where look for the bug

you can wire your two Z motors in parallel. That's what i've done on my ender 3 v2 when i have added a second Z motor. It exist cable adapters to do the job.
