Buildbotics and LightBurn
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2024 6:16 am
Has anyone used LightBurn laser control software with a Buildbotics controller? I am looking at shading with adjustable power levels and not just turning the laser on and off.
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 want to enable the 'dynamic power' and 'rapid-auto-off' features when configuring the controller.
These configuration changes are done on the Settings->Tool page.
