Very cool man!

Where were you a few hours ago when I was about ready to throw my k40 off the roof? Haha

@Mark_Leino I can get you one (hand assembled) if you want to test this.

I got it running tonight, about 30 minutes ago actually. That looks awesome though. Should make it easy for people in the future. Nice clean install.

I am curious about pwm are you using pwm to control the firing of the laser?

@George_Fetters we support both configurations of smoothie-fying the k40.
I use the option where pwm replaces the pot and the L from the power connector is used for on/off.
It is also possible to keep the pot and use the L for pwm control. The connectors are available on board for both ways.
