I recently just purchased the Laseraxe engraving machine, which has the Laseraxe controllerboard with an Arduino nano Mega328P. We upgraded to GRBL 1.1f, because the original GRBL version was too old. But now the X axis doesn't move, and the Y axis only moves in the same direction. What is the default configuration for GRBL so it can work again?
Search
I found that someone has change the pinmap of the GRBL to give support for the laseraxe driver,
Has anyone successfully done this?
https://github.com/1wise/grbl-laseraxe-arduino-nanov3/blob/master/grbl/cpu_map/cpu_map_atmega328p.h
Yes, i use that information to upgrade my GRBL Firmware to 1.1e and works fine, but yo need to config some things as the internal pullups if you want to use hard limits in the axis, editing the files and compiling the code with arduino:
#define LIMIT_MASK ((1<<X_LIMIT_BIT)|(1<<Y_LIMIT_BIT)|(1<<Z_LIMIT_BIT)) // All limit bits
If you want to activate the heigh map in A5, you need to change this:
#define PROBE_MASK (1<<PROBE_BIT)
Later I change the speeds and the axis to work with my machine. I use to Control Software Candle v1.1.7 (For GRBL 1.1). I change all the things via Software. Now my config is this:
[CTRL+X] < Grbl 1.1e ['$' for help]

ok
I did this for my personal use, but is very useful to know the Arduino Pins of this PCB
Thank you for sharing your grbl configuration, and the schematic image. I manage to make the motors work the new cpu_map, but it seams that my laser is not turning on. I believe that the laser pwm is connected to the analog pin11 right?
I am still unable to turn on the laser, everything else works fine, your configuration file is good!
This is my cpu_map, how is yours? what pin do you have the spindle?

Hello, I connect my spindle in the Laser & Motor Connector (Mandrino in my photo). I didn't check the pin because for me works. Sorry, but I Don't know how works the pwm output and the laser, because i don't have one.
This is my "cpu_map" for GRBL 1.1e:
I only modified the pins for the axis, enable the A5 for the height map, and i activated the internal pullups for the Hard Limit. Later i changed the direcction of the axis directly with Candle and adjust all the speeds and accelerations as the original laseraxe GRBL 0.8. My Spindle works perfectly when i send a M03 Command, and stops with M05.
Sorry if i can't help more, but i'm not an expert, i'm learnig how works GRBL since 2 months ago...

Hello,
I'm new on these GRBL situation and also to "Arduino programming" can someone send me a working hex file for the nano board used into the laseraxe engraving machine please.
tanks , and greetings
Luc
Hum, i don't have the hex file to program the arduino, it's better if you download the last grbl proyect, modify your custom settings for laxeraxe, and compile with arduino ide to program the nano board.
Start with this version, it's has the pin maps modified for laxeraxe.
Rodrigo SavageMay 11 I found that someone has change the pinmap of the GRBL to give support for the laseraxe driver,Has anyone successfully done this?
https://github.com/1wise/grbl-laseraxe-arduino-nanov3/blob/master/grbl/cpu_map/cpu_map_atmega328p.h
Hello,
Thanks for info yet a nano programmed but not tested, Time ??? do you have any idee what stepper motors are there used by a laseraxe some times after a while the X as make a not normal noise after that the X is moved a few mm to the wrong direction and the PCB will be total loss.
Can it be the current limit from the stepper drivers ????
thanks into advance
Maybe a Problem with the driver, try to regulate with the potenciometer (but i don't know how to calibrate..xD... i never need to do that), check the belt, its another typical problem if you lose steps, and the last option before change the motor is to reduce the acceleration and feed from the grbl config. You can send commands to change the settings via candle software for example.
I learned a lot of things doing trys and change all settings. If you dont like the results, you can reflash the grbl to nano board, but remember to erase the eprom too.

New here. Just got my Laser Etcher and have been doing a lot of research as I learn to use it.
I purchased mine through Amazon (1000mw Laser CNC Engraving Machine, DIY 6550 CNC Machine Precison 0.1mm with USB Interface).
A few things I've learned today and over the last few days...
The rig is not Precise to 0.1mm. It comes with GT2 pulleys with 17 teeth. In researching this, I found a webpage that goes into how to determine your actual precision based on steps per mm. Long story short, I've ordered a set of GT2 pulleys with 20 teeth. Without changing anything else, that will give exactly 0.1mm accuracy. This is based on the stepper motors requiring 200 steps to turn a full 360°, determining that the motors are set with a micro-stepping factor of 2, the pitch of the pulleys being 2mm (that's what the GT2 means), and the number of teeth on the pulley. (200*2)/(2*17) which comes to 0.118 (rounded up). You can read about it in detail here: https://www.norwegiancreations.com/2015/07/tutorial-calibrating-stepper-motor-machines-with-belts-and-pulleys/
Next, early in this thread is a picture of the Mana SE board that comes with our kits and it is notated according to how elartista50 is set up to use it after having flashed it. I went to the documentation that came with my kit and did a screenshot showing what they set it as. It's nearly the same, but may provide a little more detail - I hope this is helpful.
You'll note that for lasers with TTL (mostly those over 2.5Watts) need to have the TTL lead connected to work, and those same higher powered lasers must be connected to a different port as shown at the top of the image.
Something else I have learned. Using CNCC if you have the TTL box checked, and you're using the lower powered lasers, you'll be turning your laser on full power even in WS (weak) mode.
The previous posts have been helpful. I wanted to share a little back and hopefully help others, too.
I just assembled a 15W Laser engraver (hope cutter too) and my laser do not work with the wiring provided in the manual but only if I connect directly the laser power plug to the 7 W plug, in this case it goes at high power (I suppose because I shut down immediatly). Any suggestion?
@robonav Those high powered lasers need to be set up differently from the lower powered ones, like my 1000mW. It should have the power connector, the TTL (single wire), and the laser control cable. My 5W (which I'm waiting on) has the power and TTL wrapped together and terminated on one end in a three pin connector, the other end has a two pin connector and a female power connector. The other cable has three pin connectors on both ends. (EDIT) If your board is able to connect PWM, you'll connect that to the laser and the appropriate pins on the board. Otherwise you'll have to use the other connector to connect to power and TTL. PWM is the preferred. It allows your laser to use different power settings all during one run.
Also, there should be a white button on the top of your laser. That button is there to set it to low power mode.
Photos of your card and laser would help, so we could see the way it is connected. Needs to be close up and clear.
Oh, and another edit. Forgot, there is another difference when running 15W lasers. Those require a totally different power/control cable setup. I'd have to see a picture of what you have to be sure of how to connect it. Even the documentation that came with mine (includes for all lasers up to 15W) is very limited, but I can tell what they mean.
Did you have to modify any parameters in the software changing the pulley from 17 to 20 teeth?
Hi.
Thanks for your comments, maybe it can help another people. My Picture its from the little documentation about the instalation of my mill cnc and i write the arduino pins only in RED, i don't test this control board with a laser, but its very similar, and the important its how to upgrade to the last grbl, and configure the pins. For me works fine, but in the last months i disable the stoppers and the emergency button, because they cause me false pauses while the motors are in movement, probably the inputs are not isolated, or my conecction have ground problems, i don't know. Now i'm working within the security stoppers.
elartista50...
You could try running it to the furthest point you are comfortable with allowing it to travel in X and Y, and Y and notating those coordinates and set them as your machine's limits. That way it would never hit the end point and possibly cause damage, while your limiter switches are disconnected.
Did you have your limiters set up as NO (Normally Open) and did you have filter circuits in line with them to help cut down unwanted signals passing through?
Yes, i was thinking to configure the software limits, but i don't try yet. The problem its the control board, they don't have pull ups, and i don't install nothing, only connect to arduino input, and that its the problem...
In a future i want to fix the problem with pull ups or configirng the software limits, but i don't use the cnc now, now i'm working with a new hobby, a 3d printer....
@elartista50 I suppose you mean jumpers when you say "pull ups". Yes, I can see where that would be helpful. Not everyone can solder. Not everyone who solders has the tools and steady hands needed to work on small solder joints that could have been done using jumpers.
