I already had a look at it but noticed it was more about grbl setups. Can it be fitted to Mach3 setup?
I think it can (at least it did when I last used it) but you would have to check with them.
For your vector engraving why not just modify the Aspire post-processor to include the M11/M10 commands for the On/Off operation and use your control board's PWM output to control the power level.
Another possibility...
If your control board was set-up so that 100% PWM was full power and 0% was no power or Off then the M11/M10 would be unnecessary and you could control your laser just by the PWM (assuming it is capable of switching fast enough).
There is plenty of room for experimentation so perhaps just try various methods and see what suits you best.
Tweakie.
