I there, I am not having much luck using the laseraxe software with my engraver as it comes with very little functionality and either times-out immediately or crashes half way through any project only to burn in the same spot for a period of time. Because of this I have done some research into some other software programs available for cnc engravers. For me to use one however (Lightburn), I need to update from the very old 0.8v of GRBL that has come with this laseraxe control board, to a higher version. Was just wondering if anyone has had any success updating the firmware? P.s. I know they state not to flash the board although I am not having much luck with it in its current state and have spent too long trying to get it to work continuously.

Toss it out and buy a Glowforge 45w laser cutter and engraver.
If only I had the money : )
dont update to this version, if updated,cant use our CNCC anymore, thanks
Download latest grbl master file. Load in arduino app correctly (use arduino 1.8.10)
Change this line in cpu_map.h (for arduino nano 328p)
#define X_STEP_BIT 3
#define Y_STEP_BIT 5
#define Z_STEP_BIT 7
#define X_DIRECTION_BIT 2
#define Y_DIRECTION_BIT 4
#define Z_DIRECTION_BIT 6
#define STEPPERS_DISABLE_BIT 0
#define X_LIMIT_BIT 9
#define Y_LIMIT_BIT 10
#define Z_LIMIT_BIT 12
run grbl\examples\grblUpload\grblUpload.ino
And Dont forget the z axis invert
