Benbox Laser Machines/CO2 Lasers/3D Printers

I was going to say try 80 and if that doesn't work, try 100.

Glad you both got BCL working again.

Thanks...

Here's my update:

After complete deinstallation of BCL including manual cleaning of registry i reinstalled BCL 2.5a. Now it's working, but, as ta1dr wrote, only if i use a untouched bitmap. If i use the commands ImageSettings or EditImage, i get always the error described in my first post.
Resizing of bitmaps would be necessary for many works with the laser so i hope, Ralph will fix it soon.

Please install 2.5b. My previous post I added a second update note you may not have seen.

You stated 25.a fixed your issue and now you just have a com port connection issue, is that correct?

If you are still having other issues, please post the steps so I can try to reproduce. If it is only com port connection issues, did you try my suggestion of checking your parameters against my settings, as I posted an attachment showing my com port settings.

Thanks...

He said they use the 'finishing passes' to 'clean out the residue'...I think a fan blower should do the same or similar thing.

Updated to BCL 2.5a

Now , the problems begin in the first step:

COM Port -> Connect

----------------------------------------

I can connect OK (see attachment).

It looks like you have a stop bit set wrong?

Look at my com port connection parameters in the attachment and tell me if you are using the same parameters?

I already told you that you cannot load an image file without having a dxf file. With BCL 2.3 that you have, you have to click New dxf file and then load it. With BCL 2.4, I fixed it so the image link is not enabled unless there is a dxf file already loaded. You cannot just load in an image.

It loaded fine for me. See attachment.

Can you give me the steps you take?
