+Peter van der Walt , Could you summarize what’s going on with LaserWeb, LaserWeb2 and LaserWeb3. Differences, support, and why we have a LaserWeb3 already? I must have missed something the last couple weeks.

FYI my RAMPS issue is clearly related to serial comms - I haven’t been able to compile it out…so I’m guessing it’s the knock-off Arduino. Going to try a fresh build of MK and see if that gets me any further…then perhaps a new MEGA. I couldn’t even get it to reliably send over Serial monitor more than one or two commands before serial locked up.

Thanks Peter! So in addition to me possibly having a bum board the serial just never really worked well. I did read that thread on SPJS…and for what it’s worth that’s why, while I lied the interface to ChilliPeppr, I never embraced it for running jobs on my CNC. I have a highly reliable (offline) Gcode Sender for that…which unfortunately doesn’t work with Marlin…or at least what I have installed currently on my laser.

I got a shapeoko that runs on grbl… I’m game to try some movez over the weekend
