laser milestone: grblhal SRCREV -> 09bc882, host stream test, docs
BRINGUP item 2: grbl-mode laser software implemented + bench-verified without fire (record in the gate list); first light pending. LIGHTBURN.md: arming/button-press operation, S-max 1000, fire gates. scripts/bench/laser_stream_test.py: host-side stream-dump contract verification against the null-sink build.

# LightBurn setup & operation (ForgeFIRM, motion-only stage)

# LightBurn setup & operation (ForgeFIRM)
|
||||
|
||||
Status: motion-only. At this
|
||||
stage **the laser cannot fire** — the driver forces the hardware laser
|
||||
latch locked and never emits the laser bit in the pulse stream. A "job"
|
||||
runs every motion of the design (cuts at cut speed, travels at travel
|
||||
speed) with the beam off. Live fire is a later milestone, gated on the
|
||||
standing scope checks (BRINGUP.md).
|
||||
Status: laser software implemented, **first light pending** (see
|
||||
BRINGUP.md for the commissioning record). The laser fires only inside
|
||||
an operator-armed window:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Starting a job that fires: press the button.** At the first
|
||||
laser-on command of a job the machine unlocks its laser latch,
|
||||
lights the big button **white**, and pauses the incoming gcode until
|
||||
you **press the button** (the same press the factory firmware
|
||||
requires). LightBurn simply waits; press the button and the job
|
||||
runs. If nobody presses within `laser_button_timeout_s` (default
|
||||
300 s) the job aborts with alarm 3. Stop in LightBurn (soft reset)
|
||||
cancels the wait at any time.
|
||||
- One press covers the whole job — power changes and M5/M3 toggles do
|
||||
not re-prompt. The window relocks after `laser_disarm_s` (default
|
||||
60 s) of idle with the spindle off; the next job prompts again.
|
||||
- S-value scale: `$30` defaults to 1000, so set LightBurn's S-max to
|
||||
1000. 100 % power = S1000. Use M4 (variable/dynamic) mode for cuts
|
||||
and engraves.
|
||||
- The machine forces the cut fan profile on while armed and
|
||||
continuously verifies coolant flow; a flow fault or over-temperature
|
||||
pauses/blocks firing (messages appear in LightBurn's console).
|
||||
- The hardware safety chain stands above all of this: lid open,
|
||||
interlock open, or power faults make firing physically impossible
|
||||
regardless of software state.
