Yes, when using M4 only. What I get from the Wiki is that using M3 does not require movement to turn the laser on. I have verified this with my...
Unfortunately, SketchUCam, or more precisely SketchUp, cannot import JPEG or BMP files to convert to laser images. Not a limitation of...
The Wiki also says: "NOTE: M3 can be used to keep the laser on for focusing." This would imply that motion is not required for this mode. MG
No, I didn't put them all on the same line. Nor did I use a G1. These steps should not be necessary if you have laser mode off, I didn't think...
Yeah, but apparently if you use M3 instead of M4, the laser should turn on regardless. Only if you use M4 should it be movement dependent. And...
An update, I got it to work if I turned laser mode off ($32=0). M3 and M5 turn the laser on and off in this mode. It does not output PWM if...
Is perhaps the D11 output open drain? Do I need to connect the laser enable (+) to 5v and (-) to D11? Or (+) to d11 and (-) to ground?
Hey Sonny (or anyone) I recently acquired a Laser setup for my machine. Can't figure out how to get it going. I have V1.1F. Laser mode is...
For a 1/8 step setting on the stepper driver, I use 200 ppmm with the OB lead screw. With 1/16 step setting, I start with 400. Simple to check,...
Don't forget to calibrate you steps/mm. Find a good metric SS ruler. I use a small machinists square to make a pencil mark on the top of the...
I don't necessarily agree. I home lower left, zero the machine, and set G28 button to that position (0,0,max). Then I jog to the corner of my...
If you have limit switches at both ends of your axes, you can simply change the GRBL setting "Homing Dir Invert Mask" to make the X and Y axes...
Yes, that g-code is in metric. If your machine or UGS is set to inches, as it looks like with the G54 values you sent, it will try to go to (the...
G54 should be all zeros as well. Are you working in inches? Have you checked to make sure your g-code is in inches as well? And your UGS is set...
http://www.openbuilds.com/members/saint-billy.60317/ Have you run your g-code through Camotics or some other simulator to see if your g-code...
Hey, anybody have problems installing the FTDI chip drivers in Windows 8? I have a client that can't seem to get the Arduino Nano talking to...
Martin: Go to the Openbuilds "Builds" page, and select "CNC Router builds" at the top. Scroll down until you find the C-Beam Machine router...
Where do I find this script? MG
Cool, thanks. Now I have to figure out how to compile the source... Is there a way to dump or extract the settings on an existing install to a...
Hey Sonny: I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to save and load all the GRBL settings in one lump, with some kind of script or...
