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!
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.

Awesome, thanks. I’ll give it a shot. 
Hello, maybe someone can help me. Gaps in the result, see image. Nothing to see in the preview and no errors after engraving.
Just by looking i think there is something in the image or the conversion. What program are you using to run the laser?
LaserGRBL. I like it very much, it eats GRBL-files and image-files. This logo is a conversion of a b/w .jpg image and after conversion it looks like:
No gaps are detected and there are no laser commands in that part of the path. Something to do with the laser? Maybe an overheat protection?
I think it is in the coversion. Have you tried Lightburn? They have a free 30 day trial and it works alot better.
If i remember right Picsender has a free trial to. Both good programs.
