Constant Velocity Image rastering.

Constant Velocity Image rastering.

I am currently working on a firmware package that will allow you to do high speed high detailed rastering using only an Arduino controller.

I have been discussing some of these issues with the community on another thread.

In the mean time here is some video and the resulting image this was about 8 min in all and the image is 100x84 mm

I’m in !

Me too!

the grbl 0.9j in my repository allows that (with mods by Nick Williams) and the official beta release of grbl 1.1d allows that. The beta was published 5 or so days ago and has a specific laser mode for engraving.

(THIS IS A BETA RELEASE by the original grbl developers!!!)

Oh that was dumb. I didn’t see, Nick, it was your post!

@Timo_Birnschein Again this is at 200 mm sec with no jitter. Can the new grbl go that fast?? The whole peace was 8 minutes. Also the laser is firing at full power.

@Nick_Williams That is remarkable! I’m eager to try this as well! :slight_smile:

@Timo_Birnschein Hey I just downloaded your K40 Laser board from Git Hub. I have an othermill a small CNC designed to cut circuit boards. It is not reading your board file double checked with my own files and they are read just fine. Any ideas??

@Nick_Williams hm… I’m using the free version of the latest eagle layout tool. So it’s a regular legal version of the software. I don’t know what might be wrong. :frowning:
I know Othermill and as far as I remember from a year ago, the software was a bit buggy sometimes and only really usable on Mac. Did that change?

It’s been pretty stable for me I am not sure what version of Eagle I have but I know its about 2 1/2 years old so not sure. Tonight I will try and open your board file on my mac and re-save that may make a difference??
