I just picked up a 3.8w laser kit for my shapeoko xxl and thinking about trying out laserweb. Any other users have a shapeoko? If so do you have any recomendations as far as settings etc…
I was wondering if laserweb uses the M4 command for the laser control in GRBL 1.1. Also is there a way to uses inches instead of mm in laserweb.
Thanks!
If that’s a Jtech diode then I have the same one. In LaserWeb4 make sure you select the generic grbl machine profile, this will populate the required gcode. Make sure also you enable Laser mode in GRBL and set the same max pwm on both. Check out LW wiki only pinned post for more info.
Yes you can setup LW4 in inches per min
Laserweb4 is buggy, I get better results from Universal Gcode Sender, and i use Inkscape to create my designs and gcode. For comercial use I would suggest Corel.
This also is a useful tool

If it’s running GRBL, in a few days you should be able to try LightBurn. Http://lightburnsoftware.com
@Jason_Dorie Yup running GRBL. Let me know if you need any testers
