Grbl 1.1f and lasers

X-Carve

Is anyone using grbl 1.1f with their laser? I have been using it for about a week now but I’ve come across a problem. When I enter the M03 S3 command to turn on the laser at low settings to focus it, nothing happens. By the way I am using UGS/Lasergrbl. The funny thing is when I send a job to it, it works just fine. I just need to be able to turn it on at low power to focus it.

Thanks!

I recommend using this grbl version instead.

The reason I use this version is because I can use Easel with it as well. Do you know if this version will work with Easel?

It should. The grbl settings are same as in 1.1f.
