Re: How to turn off ease out/in motion?
Otherwise, you can try using Grbl's dynamic laser mode that modulates laser power with acceleration. To use it, command an M4, rather than an M3 to power up your laser. Or, use a CAM program that accounts for the acceleration by adding some overscan distance. Just to clarify, dynamic laser mode was...

Re: SO3 Servo Conversion? Teknic ClearPath?
Is motor torque a limiting factor on a stock SO3, or is it dwarfed by machine flex, belt stretch, or some other factor?

Re: dont sleep on the new carriage plate
It's easily the best upgrade I've made to my machine, especially given the relatively low price.

Re: Optically isolating limit switches
Ok, questions. Probably due to my still-considerable ignorance in electronic matters. 1. That hall effect sensor works at a fairly wide range of 3.8V to 30V. Why are you running it at 24V, rather than the 5V the Arduino is able to interface with directly? 2. Is the optocoupler just being used as a 2...
