Problem

The laser only fires at full power or power percentages are wrong.

Solution

On GRBL machines, LightBurn S-value max likely does not match the controller's $30 setting. If $30 is 1000, set S-value max to 1000. If $30 is 255, set S-value max to 255. On DSP machines, check layer power and machine vendor limits.
