Fun with Lightburn, lasers, and dithered images

I finally got the Makerbase MKS DLC + TFT24 combo I ordered from Aliexpress… took about a month.

I downloaded the GRBL v1.1h hex file and the TFT24 Laser/CNC mode firmware and was able to install them successfully. The TFT firmware is set up already but is the 3d printer version… hence the need to install the CNC version. I have yet to figure out why they only package TWO driver modules with it… it is, after all, a 3-axis controller board.

I considered installing it on my on-going Rolling Plotter/Gantry build but decided against it for now… until I work out the remaining kinks (primarily the “drifting”) with the gantry. Once I have it plotting properly, maybe this’ll be a nice addition.
