Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask this… but :wink:
I am setting up a K40 rebuild with MKS SBase. I installed GRBL LPC as I heard that was the best to use. I have a laser pointer installed that I would like to turn on with a gcode command. I was previously running it with Marlin/ramps 1.4 and I could just use M42 P11 S255 to turn on pin 11.
How do I do that with and sbase and grbl? I cant seem to find any info on that.
If this is a bad place to ask, does anyone know the right place to ask?
Thanks!

So, I couldnt figure out a couple things with GRBL LPC, the issue posted here, and how to get a pin to pull down when the laser is supposed to turn on. My LPS needs a pin pulled low to turn on the laser and another gets a PWM signal for power level. I couldnt figure out how to configure GRBL LPC to do this.
I switched the board back to smoothieware and it was super easy. Maybe later I’ll try to reinstall GRBL LPC, but as for now I couldnt get it to work.
