Dynamic power relates to pulses not mm #1179

Open treesurf opened 1 year ago

grbl v1.1h in M4 dynamic laser power mode seems to base it's power mode on motor pulses not mm distance. On my router X would cut through but Y only cut about half depth. Pulses/mm on X motor was about 2X pulses/mm on Y motor because of gearing, with the same pulses/revolution on each motor driver. I doubled the pulses/revolution on Y motor and doubled $101= setting in grbl so X and Y pulses/mm are now about the same. I now get X and Y both cutting through. Is this an oversight in grbl or a feature ?
