Cloudray M-Series Power Knob Bypass
A quick five-minute hack to use the external ammeter while retaining PC control of power settings EDIT: MORE INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS. DON’T TRUST THIS. This article is for the Cloudray M100 Laser Power Supply , but it should apply across the entire M-series of Cloudray Supplies. Full Disclosure: This is an affiliate link. Even if you never intend to order a massive CO 2 laser, just clicking that link will still help us stay afloat – Thanks! The power-supply comes with this sweet display screen, letting you know exactly how much power you’re actually running! Not necessary, but cool. The problem is that when this is plugged in, the knob on the left side will override the power-setting that your laser control software (lightburn, etc) is sending. Cloudray claims they have a switch on the PSU itself to disable this, but our supply shipped without said switch. Luckily, this is easily remedied with a pair of diagonal-cutters and a tiny screwdriver!
