Benbox Firmware Setup

[ThothLoki]

For the users who prefer to use the Benbox software.
Attached is the following:

• Eleks-Benbox.hex (benbox firmware hex file)
• How to upload rom.gif
• Benbox.jpg

The gif file shows how to upload the firmware to the nano board through Benbox.

The Benbox.jpg shows the basic layout of Benbox as well as the most commonly used settings. These settings are more or less tailored to our low powered laser machines.

hi, i'm new from italy...
i've buy a elekslaser a3 with mana SE, but benbox don't work. i read that i need to flash with ELEKS-BENBOX.HEX but i'm not sure ... what kind of board is mana SE ? nano or?
the program connect with the board but do nothing.
another question...after i flash to work to benbox, i need to re-flash to work with another program ( ex.  t2laser or elkscam) )
sorry for my english and tnx to all.

Although T2Laser will work with the Benbox or EleksCAM firmware (hex) you get the best performance and most features using the newer Grbl 1.1 firmware. The current default in T2Laser is Grbl 1.1e.

If you use the mana.hex (0.9i) it will work with EleksCAM and T2Laser, but not Benbox.

You won't get all of the features in T2Laser though, including dynamic laser control and real time overrides as they require 1.1. There's nothing in EleksCAM that you can't do in T2Laser, and there are many things in T2Laser not available in their software. Pick one and learn it, you'll get the best results.
