    You need a 12v power supply and it needs to share a common ground with the Blackbox like the Blackbox documents show.
    docs:blackbox-4x:connect-3-wire-laser [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Unless of course there is some other board associated with the laser you are not showing us. The laser vendor should also provide information .

    $32=1 for laser, $32=0 for spindle. Remember to change according to the job at hand

    Jumper, no. Jumper is always removed. Only in place for Plasmas.

    $31 can be added to your CAM workflow. In the gcode header. Super easy

    and for what purpose do you need to change $32 from 0/1
    because I don't quite understand
    if $32=1 the spindle will not run
    I have a makite milling machine

    Read the Laser Mode section of the Grbl Wiki

    Make sure your spindle is wired as per our documentation

    ok, so to clear things up
    when i use milling machine i enter $32=0
    and when i use laser i enter $32=1
    I remove the jumper and it stays like this all the time without it
