Re: Crazy offset when posting tool change paths

Re: Buildbotics and LightBurn
You should be able to configure the controller as a PWM spindle and set speed range to match the power range that is output by the lightburn software in the form of 'S' commands. I haven't used lightburn but am assuming that it puts out 'S' commands in the gcode to control intensity. You will also w...

New video
Check out my new video about the Buildbotics CNC Controller. It's a short marketing video that stresses how easy it is to get a machine running with a BB Controller. It would be great if you could view it, like it, and share it. Here's the link on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7uY8B01AIo...
