I’ve heard very good things about the smoothieboard from a bunch of different
spaces.

Our laser already has beefy stepper drivers so we are going to re-use those.
If things go well I'll be writing it up, at least as a blog post, maybe as an
article somewhere.

Smoothieboard is on my "need to check it out list", I don't know anyone who

Just double checking, there is no F/OSS (or, at worst, Linux or BSD

Maybe replace the controller? The lasersaur's DriverBoard is OSH/OSS:

<https://github.com/nortd/lasersaur/wiki/driveboard>
<https://github.com/nortd/lasersaur/wiki/driveboard ;
<https://github.com/nortd/lasersaur/wiki/driveboard>>
Also, I'm happy to peek under the hood and look at the existing
controller. I'm about to release the -0001 version of my
lasercutter software for Lasersaur and plan on supporting other
laser cutters in the future. Is it possible for me to download the
software we're using at the shop?
