So, I don’t see a straight forward way to get the rotary to work with the stock board in your machine, I have concerns about your plan to use a diode to mark metal, and think you will get better results in general if you get a cheap CO2 laser like the K40 and upgrade it. I managed to get my laser working under GRBL Mega 5X which was written for an Arduino Mega 2560 and RAMPS. I will take you through all of the steps necessary to build your laser, to control it from the Shapeoko 2s GRBL CNC controller, including modifications needed.

I typically tell people to budget $700 all in for a K40 ($300 on ebay as of this weekend, that’s as cheap as it ever gets, and prices will go up for the holiday season), C3D LaserBoard ($200), LightBurn Software ($40), and several other small but important upgrades like an air assist head, better exhaust fan, etc… You’d also need the rotary on top of it. Arduino Mega 2560 & RAMPS The Shapeoko Forum. Note that it may be necessary to clear any coordinate offsets or other persistent settings when upgrading. If this is on, M3 wont turn on the spindle unless the head is moving. Grbl v0.9i Atmega328p 16mhz 115200baud with ShapeOko2 defaults () Upgrading. Also note that newer versions of GRBL have a laser mode (32). Your total cost on this should be under $1k. Note GRBL uses seconds, not milliseconds for the P value. If you can swing it, I think you’d get much better results if you got a $300 K40 which is a 40 watt laser cutter, put our LaserBoard in it, and then you’d have a dedicated laser that can actually cut more than paper, like 1/4" woods and acrylic plastic, and you can put the rotary in there and be much more confident about it actually being able to perform. The Arduino UNO R3 that we are using on this build was purchased by John from Radio Shack and shipped to us for our testing and experimentation, so we used it on this Shapeoko 2 build. Since this question doesnt seem to be diminishing. I have a number of strong opinions about mixed use machines, and believe that one should have dedicated machines for dedicated roles. John is the first to be successful using our varied Intensity controlled Laser Diode concept with grbl and an Arduino UNO. UPGRADED 3-AXIS CNC Control Board Controller USB for Laser Engraving 0. Angepasste Laser grbl fr Arduino IDE zur Ansteuerung eines Arduinoclub Estlcam Mega2560 Controllers.

I think you should be more concerned about this. Shapeoko 3XL 0006 w/ Carbide Compact Router w/0. Lets put a laser on it and do some engraving and cutting These instructions show how to electronically connect the laser driver and the commands needed to. I’m not convinced that the laser I’m showing (5W blue solid-state laser) is powerful enough to etch the stainless (using cermark), but that’s another issue.
