Hi,

Do you consider possibility of using TinyG to control Laser Plotter/engraver/cutter.

Lasers are mostly 2D but it needs output for laser beam power control.

Pls comment/share your thoughts.

We have considered this possibility. To that end we have been experimenting with pulse-width modulation (PWM) channels in the development / edge branches. There is more work to be done - for sure - but the basic of modulating laser are in place.
