![]() The heart of the Smoothieware boards is the NXP ARM Cortex-M3 LPC1769. The last item requires an LCD attached (or graphic display).Running jobs without PC attached (e.g.Ability to run G code on the machine with command line control.More stepper motor drivers to control Z axis plus add a rotation axis for round objects: the M2-Nano only supports two steppers (X and Y axis).Controlling the laser power with software: I have to set the laser power on the panel, and lasering something with multiple speed and power requires multiple manual steps.While the above hardware and software is working fine, I was aiming for more: That Smoothieware project really kicked me off to enhance my laser cutter with a more powerful solution. And there I really enjoyed the benefits of the Smoothieware: free, opensource and powerful G-code and CNC controller software, used for 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC milling. ![]() The K40 Whisperer software is free of charge (thanks!) and evolving (see ), but when working on another side project I taped in the the world of CNC and 3D printing controllers.
