This repository holds the firmware for a laser cutter/engraver based on Marlin software ( version 1.0.0 ) and RepRap compatible hardware. The original firmware was forked from https://github.com/lansing-makers-network/buildlog-lasercutter-marlin and few modifications have been added.
This firmware it is developed to support any generic gcode laser software generators, but you can check the other FreakyAttic repository VisiCut GCode Pluging which implements a plugin for the amazing open-source laser software VisiCut, check their webpage.
Marlin-based laser cutter/engraver information pages:
- HARDWARE: information about hardware connections, configurations ...
- FIRMWARE: information about software configurations, how to install, ...
- Support to be opened with Netbeans 8.1 + Arduino plugin. Easier to be modified.
- Add support for external stepper drivers with slower step trigger signal, like TB6560 driver boards.
- Raster image support, base64.
- Different configurations to fire laser; through G1 movements, M3/M5 commands, etc...
- Vector cutting of lines and arcs at your given power level.
- Display the laser temperature and current.
- Add extra display menus to handle the laser.
