Error during setup Z to run Blacktooth laser

i presume your wanting to rasterize images ? , rather than cutting
if you want to do both , then the best way is to have 2 configurations .

Thank you for the suggested changes. Unfortunately, the changes did not solve the problem. I also moved the wire to pin 6 and changed the step config and the HAL file as mentioned and still nothing. I did learn how to modify the HAL file. I know it's easy but you don't know until you try. Any other ideas out there for this? I realize it has to be something i need to change in the HAL file. I just can't find the fix for it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I just remembered something... LinuxCNC doesn't toggle the spindle-on pins unless the spindle speed is > 0.

You may need a dummy S1000 command at the beginning of the code

If that works, then we can try to find a neater way.

How would i set the dummy S1000 command?

For a test, with a text editor, just add it to the G-code file.

If that works then we can start to look for a more general solution.

I guess i don't follow what you mean by adding it to the gcode. Could you provide an example or show where to add it? Here is the gcode i am using as a test.
