Hi there, i tried to look up if there is any tutorial or overview for setting up the MKS SBASE 1.3 for Lightburn.
I already have the firmware installed and Lightburn is talking to the board. But i wonder what i have to wire to get the most use out of it.
Im also wondering what settings need to be tweeked for the K40 and im planning to have a rotary instead of my z-Axis table which is installed right now.
Im pretty sure that this topic has to be discussed but to be honest i didnt find what i was looking for within the last 30 mins. May someone help me out?
I flashed grbl-lpc which i was told should be working with lightburn. It looks like its communicating:
Console:

ok
But i really got some doubts about wiring it correctly for the K40
The alarm seems clear, i havn´t hooked it up yet, as i was looking for the correct way to do before frying the board or the laser
I haven’t wired an SBASE, so I can’t help with specifics there.
Ideally you would have limit switches set to home against, and then you’d need to configure the homing directions, pull-off settings, travel ranges, step size, acceleration, etc. All of that is covered on the GRBL docs configuration page: https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Grbl-v1.1-Configuration
I see, this is a general problem, i thought that it would be easier finding some information. never the less, thanks for your help !
I think the normal stuff to do is not that different like on any other GCode based Machine like 3D Printer. I think i can cope with that, but i really am afraid im hooking up some wires incorrect and damage anything.
