I’d like to get the module but they don’t have one specifically listed yet for avid which one do I choose? Other?
Thanks
It works for Avid machines, they are updating their listings. Go ahead and get it, it’ll work with our machines. All you need is the stock EX post processor and you’re good to go.
Where did you see that it wasn’t compatible?
Okay that’s good just double checking yeah they’re doing a little slackalackin they should have our machine listed
The change has already been submitted to them, I’m sure it’ll go live soon

I saw that as well…just for the EX controller system threw me off…Thanks for the explanation Eric !!
ok, it looks like they updated it already. That listing is accurate. laser module is only for EX controls, not Mach
Is it going to be released for Mach?
No, it won’t be. Mach cannot do image rasters that are generated by the Laser Module do to the density of the G code.
Luckily however Mach has a built in converter for turning router toolpaths into laser optimized toolpaths, and for images Mach has a command line utility that you can use to make images.
You can find those tutorials here:

So I bought the module and when you’re ordering it you need to choose (other controller) and that works just fine. One thing to note is that you need VCarve pro version 12.5 to get all of the toolpath operations you will be missing the laser sketch engraving if you don’t. Now I have a few weeks before I get the laser so I can play around with that lol
