Which Laser Module do we purchase for AR8 and Vcarve Pro

[mkart]

I purchased the AR8 pro and V-Carve Pro software a few weeks ago.  Finally getting around to installing the laser module I purchased with the AR8.  I went to buy the laser module but the list of available controllers does not include any Axiom products.  There is an other listed but I want to make sure I download a=what will work with my system.  Anyone been through this yet?  Selecting other states it may not work and to use trial.  I will give this a try after installing the laser but want to ensure I don't cause problems by using the wrong one.  Being new to CNC and the software it is hard enough without adding in dumb mistakes.

Thank you in advance!

The Vcarve laser module does not work with Axiom products. The laser is only on/off, no variable power. The best you can do is use the Axiom laser postprocessor and set up your laser as a mill. Vary the color/depth of the burn with the Feed Rate.

Thank you, just realized this. We will give it a try tomorrow.
