Have you all experienced an issue where the laser is always ON (firing) when turned on. Double checked connections. It was working at one point but not anymore. The TTL switch is active and cannot send GCODE commands to turn the laser off with the M5 command. Tried using UGS, Lightburn to send commands but nothing. I was using Vectric Vcarve for a CNC project and then tried using the Jtech laser and that is when I started having problems. I can jog the machine using UGS and Lightburn. Here are my GRBL settings.

      I’d suggest isolating if the issue is occurring coming out of the controller or coming out of the safety interface board driver.
      Check that you’re getting modulated voltage out of the controller. I assume your controller generates 5V TTL logic if it’s Arduino based. Voltage should be proportional from 0% power to 100% power between ~0V and ~5V. If you can confirm proper function from controller then proceed to Jtech interface and check with TTL setting that you’re getting modulated power.
