Draw Frame Box w/o the Laser burning - Enhancement #6

Closed lathemaster closed 4 years ago

lathemaster commented 4 years ago

Totally new to this tech although I do have a CNC machine and a 3D printer.

I am running an NEJE Master 3500 laser for my learning tool Their firmware is 0.8c GRBL but I assume they have not totally followed the standard.

By "drawing" a frame or bounding box I can tell if

The image used will fit on the material I'm using
I can position the material so the image is burned where I need it

I'm guessing you simply want to not have weak laser enabled when running the bounding box routine.

If so I can accommodate this with addressing another open request to control the weak laser strength. I believe by allowing a value of zero for laser strength will effectively disable it.
