I am currently running CNCjs on a Raspberry Pi to control a GRBL controller (Shapeoko 3) with a JTech Photonics Laser. In this setup, I have to save the GCODE in Lightburn and then run it using CNCjs. A few months prior to this I was using a laptop to control the SO3, and using either a GCODE sender or in the case of my laser, Lightburn. However, my laptop stopped working so I decided to invest in the RPi instead of a new laptop.
I remember at one point, the laser would move at G0 speeds between points where the laser was on and now when I run GCODE, the laser only moves at G1 speeds, which can significantly extend run times. I found some settings under Device settings to enable G0 moves for overscan and have turned that on, but it doesn’t affect the output of the GCODE file. Is there a way to create GCODE that includes G0 commands or is the only way to get that functionality to run the machine directly from Lightburn?
Thanks,
TJ
