Laser Control Commands in settings missing (v 1.7.04)

Hi All,
I recently updated to v1.7.04 from very old version. I’m setting up a diode laser machine (that was working on that old version) and have upgraded the controller to an MKS SBase I had lying around), running Smoothieware.

What happened to the “Laser Control Commands” in Device Settings? I’m struggling to get the laser to fire properly.

It’d also be really nice to see the gcode actually sent to the controller, is that available somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help…

Check if LightBurn is in beginner mode.
Post a screenshot of LightBurn laser window for us to see the same as you.
