General Mach Discussion / Re: Cnc code for laser switching

Hi Andre,
Just to keep it as simple as possible the GCode to cut a 100mm dia. hole would be something like the attached.
The purpose of the M11 / M10 code set is to switch the laser on and off coincident with axis movement so they must always be followed by an axis move.
(In my example code, I am using Output #1 so M11P1 switches the laser on and M10P1 switches it off).
