Grbl laser post

[Anonymous]

I would like to request a post for grbl controlled laser machines. It would be nice if the power setting values were editable considering the pwm range is adjustable in the firmware depending on the spindle type.

Thanks,
Tim

I have  GRBL setup, and tried using smoothie, however mine is failing at this point:

Any thoughts on how to get past this?

Set compensation to in computer and not in control. This will fix the problem.
