To enable required updates, Public Affairs will not release new content on usafe.af.mil, Nov. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa will launch a redesign of its official website in mid-November.
This board does not offer control of power through software - we recommend upgrading the board to take full advantage of LightBurn. USAFE to launch official website redesign, temporarily pause new content for updates U.S. Version 0.2 is installed with sheetcam (Ill try to update it if it gets updated / added to) below is the code of the post processor (unedited as listed within sheetcam, you may need to customise the first section to your setup). When it hits M6 it stops properly and waits for cycle start, i.e. Im using Estlcam for the CAM process and got M6 in the g-code. I have configured the M6 to stop and wait for cycle start. This should be possible with a wait for input then jump or a subroutine in g code.
Please note that LightBurn does not support the stock M2-Nano board in the popular K40 laser. Im trying to figure out how manual tool change works with UCCNC (version 8 with SC2/600). SOLIDWORKS, WinPC-NC Full, EstlCAM, SC1/600 + HF500W, laser. If it doesn't work, sometimes it only takes a day or two to make the required changes to support a new board in these existing families. If your controller is GCode, Ruida, Trocen, or TopWisdom based, even if it's not listed it might be supported already - Download the free trial and try it for yourself. When you click PAUSE it will go to the Fixed plate location and probe tool and then carry on with cut.
More controllers will be added soon, so if you don't see yours listed, send us a message - maybe we're already working on it! Then when it gets to the next tool in the program it will PAUSE and lift the Z-axis to SAFE HEIGHT then a message to change from Tool to Tool, click ok and then be Paused waiting for you to change the tool. Supported Trocen controllers include the AWC708C, AWC608, and TL-3120. Supported Ruida controllers include the RDC6442G/S, RDC6445G, RDC6332G, RDLC-320A, and R5-DSP. Supported GCode controllers,include Grbl, Smoothieware, Grbl-LPC, and Marlin. We currently support most Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom, and GCode based controllers. LightBurn talks directly to your laser, without the use of additional software.
