@rabbit currently the laser configuration in RRF is not part of the tool definition. We intend to change this in a future version of RRF; but for now you need to use the M452 command (https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m452-select-laser-device-mode) to switch the machine into laser mode.
You can still use M563 to define tools, but the laser function will work even when you don't have a tool selected.
