Good morning Noisebridge,<br>
<br>
My name is Clint and I'm hacking on a MLE-40 laser. From your
wiki, I understand your space has/had one of these machines. <br>
<br>
<span>I'm currently in the process of setting up a GRBL+Laserweb
motion controller and interface for my machine, and was
wondering if anyone had explored this at your space. <br>
<br>
</span><span><span>I've successfully integrated an atmega328+GRBL
into the parallel port on the MLE-40 (I can dig up the pin
mappings if anyone's interested). <span></span> <br>
I did have to bypass the FullSpectrum driver boards' limit
switch circuit with my own to cut down on noise and false
positives.<br>
<br>
</span></span><span>I'm currently hacking on GRBL's config.h
file to try and define some reasonable settings for rates,
accelerations, and getting GRBL's coordinate system to match
laserwebs'.<br>
</span><span>Here's where I'm at currently:<span> </span><a

<br>
I'll be hanging out in your IRC channel today if anyone wants to
chat, or we can run it on email if thats more typical for your
space's comms.<br>
<br>
Hopefully there's someone at <span class="hyperlink-channel">#noisebridge</span>
who's hacked a bit on the MLE-40 or GRBL who'd be interested in
collaborating on this.<br>
